YOUTH WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER

Ascension has dedicated the weekend liturgies of September 28/29 as youth led mass weekend. Many of the ministry positions for this weekend are being offered to our youth first before opening these opportunities up to our regularly scheduled ministers. These include lectors, hospitality, singers, servers, and gift bearers. For more information on these, and other ministries, and to sign-up, please visit the link below. The deadline to sign-up is September 18 in order to allow for proper preparation of the ministry.  If you have any questions please contact Holly Smith, Worship and Music Director, at hsmith@ascension-parish.com https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0D4CAFA929AAFD0-youth1

BOX TOPS COLLECTION
Our goal is to raise $2,000+ in FREE money for our school! Ask family, friends, and neighbors to download Box Tops for you!The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school!
Over the summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label.
Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has worked hard to build a NEW-and-improved, user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now.
The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school’s earnings online.
If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school. We will still earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until they expire. Better yet, you can “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing
participating products.
Please download the app and follow the instructions for setting up an account and finding our school. All you have to do is scan your receipt within 14 days of purchasing participating products, and our school earns $.10 for every box top clipped! https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhip2save.com%2F2019%2F07%2F28%2Fgrab-your-phone-the-box-tops-for-education-program-is-going-digital%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1JJ3GswZkPZ_NpnfyxQd-vB0xbrI0Q0kkpc_tlGlLLdX9K2w3UM37uyi8&data=02%7C01%7CSusThomas%40ascension-parish.com%7C723b5f3740b04c09c14308d71b3ce41c%7C278a8c254c55419292c9c977e15b6481%7C1%7C0%7C637007820646255451&sdata=WF91jE0HWZe2w3vurUzskaRfW7eYVRGt0F%2BKm2vWu%2Fs%3D&reserved=0
