Help Wanted: Flowerbed Maintenance
Having a beautiful church helps to welcome visitors to the faith and also re-enchants the world, but it takes some time. And not a little weed pulling. If you would like to help Holy Ascension be a source of beauty for others, please consider signing up to join the weeding rotation. Text or email Tressa Patten at 615-767-4789, or tressapatten@mac.com to be added to the list.

  • Each weeding assignment takes about an hour and is flexible inside the window of a week. 

  • During your chosen assigned week, just stop by the church at your convenience with your embarrassingly expensive Hori-Hori knife, or other reasonable tool, and extract as many weeds as you can within the flowerbeds.
This Weekend: Bishop's Visit, Ordination & Lunch
Bishop BASIL will visit Holy Ascension this weekend. Please make every effort to attend Vespers and Orthros, as well as Divine Liturgy, so that we can have a large group to welcome His Grace:

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Help Wanted: Holy Bread Bakers
There is nothing so cozy as baking a golden loaf of bread for your family with love and care. Unless it is the even cozier feeling you get from baking for your church. If you like to bake or would like to learn how, Holy Ascension invites you to join its rotation of bakers and offer your service to your church. No prior experience with prosfora is needed, we can teach you how. Text Jane Krawtzow at 405-615-3575 (or leave a voicemail) to set up a class. Or call Tressa Patten at 615-767-4789 if you have questions or to join the team.
