Help Us Buy Needed Lawn Equipment

We need $2,500 to purchase new lawn equipment, in order to be ready when the grass wakes up. Please consider making a donation toward this effort. Every little bit helps! Checks should be payable to Holy Ascension and have "Lawn Equipment" on the memo line. They can be mailed to the church or given to our treasurer, Greg Waters. You can also donate through PayPal at normanorthodox.church/donate (make sure to note "lawn equipment" when you do). Many thanks!

Fasting Guidelines During the week following Meatfare Sunday (Feb 24–March 1), we fast from meat, but all other types of food and drink may be consumed, even on Wednesday and Friday.
