Kitchen Wish List
We are still a few weeks away from the kitchen being done, but we are starting to make plans for when it is up and running. Because we want the new kitchen to be fully and well equipped we have created a wish list or registry of items that the new kitchen will be in need of. If you would like to sponsor or purchase a gift for the new kitchen, please take a look at our Amazon list at the following link: https://a.co/0hOl9KQx You may also take a look at the items posted on the bulletin board in the parish hall. If you would like to make a donation to the kitchen fund to sponsor an item or purchase an item, please just let Fr. Kevin know what you would like to donate. Because the church has accounts setup with both Amazon and Webstaurant store for tax exemption and free shipping, it is easiest for us to just order the items directly. We want to be very intentional about what goes into the new kitchen, and don't want duplicates, so please understand that we cannot at this time accept random donations for kitchen items.

Construction Update
Construction to our parish hall and kitchen continues. At this time it is necessary to enter the parish hall through the parking lot doors. Please stay out of any areas labeled construction zone.
Ascension Today & Tomorrow
Last year we launched the Ascension Today & Tomorrow Campaign to fund the projects that are now well underway. We are able to do this because many of you have already paid your pledges in full. Although AT&T pledges may be paid over three years, it is very helpful if people can make regular progress toward their pledge fulfillment. This helps us with cash flow and to avoid over taxing our reserved funds. If you can make progress on your pledge, please do so. If you haven't made a pledge yet, would you consider one? As you can see, we are taking important steps to improve our building and there will always be more work to do. Your support is very much appreciated.
Updated Giving Page on Realm
To make giving easier and more seamless, we’ve updated our Realm giving page. The dropdown menu has been refreshed to help you quickly find and select the funds you’d like to support. We encourage you to explore this convenient way to give.
As we continue serving our congregation and community, please keep the following needs in mind:
Snow Removal Fund — This winter brought significant snowfall, and although the snow has melted, the expenses remain. This fund helps offset the costs of snow removal already incurred.
Ascension Today & Tomorrow — Construction on our kitchen and entrance is underway and will continue throughout the summer. Your support helps us move forward with these important improvements.
General Fund — Sustains our weekly ministries, outreach, and day‑to‑day operations.
Your faithful generosity makes a meaningful difference in all we do. You may give online through our updated platform or during our regular worship services.
Thank you for your continued support.
