Angel Tree: Visit the Angel Tree to help Ascension and Healing Hearts families purchase gifts this Christmas. Pick an angel ornament from the tree and purchase the gift card designated on the ornament. Consider using RaiseRight, a fundraising program Ascension participates in, to purchase the gift card. See the RaiseRight website to enroll. Ascension’s enrollment code is 5Y251X9S1J3F.  Place the gift card in the box in the church office. This year, the angel ornaments will be joined by goat ornaments. If you pick a goat, we ask that you make a monetary donation to our siblings in Tanzania. Each $50 goat ornament will purchase a goat that can change the life of a family who is struggling to feed their family in our sister congregation. Checks can be made out to Ascension and designate the Tanzania goat project in the memo and place in the box in the office.
