Announcements This Week:
Stewardship Season
Last week we sent out the stewardship letter above to the parish asking everyone to prayerfully reflect on what God is calling you to give to the life and ministry of the Church of the Ascension in the coming year. Sacrificial giving is an act of worship that has been tied to prayer from the beginning. We give not just because the church needs money to operate, but more importantly we give as an act of faith and thanksgiving to the God who has given us so much. Please consider what God is calling you to give in the coming year. The cards should be returned on Sunday, November 26 , where they will be blessed during the mass. You may also make your pledge online through the link above.
