Dog Park Improvements:
Thank you David Bergquist, (he's taking the picture), Ray Shaw (below left), and John Searle (below right) for the improvements to the dog park. There was low spot as people walk through the gate that would become a muddy mess when it rains. These gentlemen bricked it in with gravel and bricks to give a safer entry point. They also installed gate stops to prevent the gate from overswinging. The community is very grateful for this space and we are grateful to these guys for helping keep it fun and functional.

Lenten Soup Suppers
Joe Ann Kindgon with the help of the Altar Guild made a delightful Chicken Tortilla Soup. The Reflection of the Kingdom of Heaven was illuminating. We had a wonderful group attend the soup suppers for the duration of Lent, but alas, we draw to a close. Please join us for our last soup supper, where Todd and Cindy Breton are considerately making Stuffed Pepper Soup and Fr. Mark will be giving an Introduction to the Enneagram.

Sunday School
Sunday School for both adults and children is every Sunday at 9:30! Adults are gathering in the Church Library, bring your coffee, and will be taught by Fr. Mark. Children and Youth will meet with Allison Garcia in the youth room. (There may be a treat!) Allison needs assistance! If you are able to help even just one Sunday a month, please let her know!

A Simple way to help
Simply put: We need pictures! Of events, of people, of campus! We want to have current pictures of the things that Ascension does to use in publications and to create and maintain a strong social media presence. Ascension has so much to offer….we need to let the world know who we are and what we do! We have created a centralized location for all photos to be sent to. So when you snap a picture at church or a church related event, please, please, forward it to photos@ascensionepiscopalchurch.org. Look through your phone and send us anything you have for the last year, that will at least get us started. :)

WHAM Recycling Center
The recycling station in the Parish Hall accepts paper and plastic bags, egg cartons, condiments, and individually wrapped plastic ware. These items are donated to WHAM and are an excellent way to keep usable items out of landfills. However, we cannot accept newspapers, aluminum cans or plastic bottles, please do not leave these items to be thrown away. You are encouraged to find other ways to recycle these items.

Give the Gift of Sight
All year long, we collect eyeglasses, cases, sunglasses, frames, and lenses -- all things related to vision for donation. In late January/early February, Constance O’Brien delivers this year long assembly of eyewear to the Lion's Club in honor of National Eye Month. These glasses are then repaired and distributed in the US and around the world to those in need. The collection box is located near the WHAM food donation bin.
