SUMMER SOLUTIONS WORKBOOK DRAWING
Applause to all of our students who completed Summer Solutions workbooks! Hopefully you found it beneficial to stay practiced as this year began. Last year there were 43 workbooks completed and this year the number rose to 67! Congratulations to Jameson Frerman who won the drawing for the $350 in tuition assistance donated by our heroic volunteer, John Amback!
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

We are excited to reintroduce a hand bell ensemble at Ascension!
This is an inter-generational group of individuals and families who enjoy making music in a communal setting. This ensemble ministers through hand bell ringing at various weekend Masses and outreach in the community. Prior experience or the ability to read music is NOT required. Participants meet twice a month for rehearsals. The first rehearsal in the Fall will be September 16th from 6:30–7:30 PM in the Church.
CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY CANTATA – https://forms.gle/CiqK4gjN9nbQKET8AWe are looking forward to an amazing Advent and Christmas Season here at Ascension! One of the highlights this year is will be our Community Christmas Cantata as we share the good news and joy of Christmas. This opportunity is open to any and all who wish to be a part of something fun with others and share in the joy of Christmas. This is a great opportunity for families to join together once a week for rehearsals in preparation of a musical program to share with the community. Rehearsals will be on Sundays from 6:30–7:30 PM beginning on November 3rd in the Church. The final performance, open to the community, will be on Sunday, December 15th at 6:30 PM.

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!
