and the latest scoop on COVID Vaccines!
EVOLVING NOW: A special Diocesan prayer event is being planned, to be led by Bishop Mark Van Koevering, virtually from Church of the Ascension in Frankfort - tentatively on Sunday, January 17. Bishop Mark will lead special prayers specially dedicated to our state and national governments in this time of crisis and change. Watch for details to be posted on Facebook pages of the Diocese and Ascension.
Election of Ascension Deputies and Alternate(s) to the 2020 Diocesan Convention: Three lay deputies and two alternate(s) will be elected; the Senior Warden for the calendar year is automatically the fourth lay deputy. Qualifications are the same as for voting and vestry candidates.

Candidates for seats as Deputies or Alternates are currently Ginni Fox, Shannon Lancaster, Leah MacSwords, and Judith Spencer (plus the Senior Warden, who will automatically be a Deputy), for election at the same parish meeting. You may still volunteer to be a Deputy or Alternate - one more person is needed. Contact Father Peter to learn more, and watch for more information to come about the election.
Information about the COVID-19 vaccine is changing quickly. If you are interested in getting the vaccine, don't just wait for your doctor to call and offer it - that is not likely to happen. You need to take action to express interest, get on a list, make an appointment.

A spokesperson for the Franklin County Health Department described yesterday how hard they are working to distribute and administer the vaccine. Watch the news and online web sites for the latest details.

  • Check with the health department of your home county. In Franklin County, see http://fchd.org/ - seniors in phase 1B (including seniors age 70 and over) may sign up NOW on an "interest list" for the vaccine as soon as possible.

  • Today, 1/14/21, Governor Beshear announced that Kentucky will partner with Kroger to create high-volume, regional drive-thru vaccination centers across Kentucky.

  • The first regional center will open the week of Feb. 1. Everyone in phases 1B and 1C (including seniors over 60) will be eligible to make an appointment.

  • Beshear also said that an appointment registration website and vaccine hotline will be in operation Jan. 28. Kentuckians will be able to schedule appointments at the first regional center on that day. The locations of the regional centers will be announced at a later date. Kroger will also provide vaccinations during scheduled appointments at the grocery chain’s Little Clinic sites.
