Outreach Committee Meeting This Week

The June meeting of the Outreach Committee will be Tuesday June 3 at 6:30 pm at Ascension Lutheran Church. Suggestions for Outreach activities are welcome. Anyone wishing to contribute and/or join the committee is welcome to come to the meeting.

BIRTHDAY IN A BOX DONATION DRIVE

The Board of Human Care is partnering with Harvesters to ensure that local kids and adults can enjoy a birthday cake on their special day! Each Birthday in a Box goes to households served by agency networks to ensure a birthday doesn’t pass without the means to celebrate.

Each box contains all the necessary ingredients to make a cake as well as candles, balloons, banner, plates, cups, napkins, and plastic utensils. We have applied for a Thrivent grant to get us started, and combined with your support we hope to achieve our goal of 50 boxes.

Donations will be accepted through the end of July. Monetary donations will also be accepted to purchase items needed to complete the boxes. If contributing using a check, please designate “Birthday Box Donation” so the funds can be allocated appropriately. See the table in the narthex or ask any member of the Human Care Board (Flannery Bartels, Johna Brill, Darlene Crain, Lourene Embree, Candy King, Mark and Mary Lippe, Dean and Bev Mettlen, Doug and Pam Rinas) for more information.

Walker Program

Ascension’s Walker Program is live! The Family Life Center is open for walking from 7 am to 10 am weekdays. Walking is a great way to start your day and can improve both your physical and mental health! Please join us.

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.
