Ascension Walker Program Volunteer Opportunities

Our Walker Program provides our members and our community with a forum for physical exercise through walking and fellowship. Ascension members serve as hosts for the program; which is open weekdays from 7 am to 10 am (not including holidays or when there is inclement weather). If you are interested in serving as a host, a host substitute, and/or would like more information please feel free to reach out to Charles Green or Pam Rinas.

Keeping Our History Alive

Do you have old or new or anything in between of photos from our church history, functions, programs, fellowships, decorating, etc.? I can scan old photos or download anything digital from a CD/DVD or a flash drive. All photos will be returned to you. The photos will be in a large collage and displayed at our 60th anniversary celebration in November of this year. Please, make sure to put your name on your photos, so I may return them to you. For those of you who have shared your photos with me the last couple of years, I still have them. Any questions, call or text me at 816-289-6842. Please, leave a message if I'm unable to answer. My email address is echoes.shadows@att.net Thank you - Linda Kueck

Midwest March For Life

Join us Wednesday, May 1, at the Missouri State Capitol. Activities planned from 8:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. See the bulletin board for more information.

We're starting a new tradition with this year's Ascension Day. It will be marked as a Day of Prayer. We are still finalizing plans but will have opportunities to pray here at church and on your own. If you would like to help plan the day, please contact Kathy Jenkins.

Adopt a Highway - Thank You A sincere thank you to the people who served by picking up trash on Ascension’s stretch of I-70 last Saturday, April 20th. Thanks to Ed Doering, Kathy Jenkins, Kerry Stucky, Hans Rinas, Doug and Pam Rinas. These 6 volunteers picked up 24 bags of trash! This brings Ascension's grand total to 1885 bags of trash picked up on I-70 since Don Bartels started Ascension's Adopt a Highway efforts on November 9, 2002. We will have another pick up in a couple of months or so. For more information contact Doug Rinas.

How to Give to Ascension

If you are able to continue giving, you have several options.

• Mail your check to the church (put it inside your church envelope then into a mailing envelope)

• Use your own bank’s online banking to have a check mailed to church

• Participate in our electronic giving program, which requires a bit of setup. To use this third option, contact Kathy Jenkins for details.
