Two really important things are coming up, not this coming weekend, but next weekend. Mark your calendars:
(1) Saturday, April 26: SPRING INTO ACTION. this is a once-a-year massive service project sponsored by the Diocese of Dallas Youth Commission. we are going to join other youth from all over the Dallas diocese to paint, do yard work and cleanup, and make a difference for two of the small, rural churches of our diocesan family. Our group will serve at St. Philip’s, Sulphur Springs (other youth will work at Holy Family, McKinney) and then the entire group will come back together for a barbecue, fellowship, and worship at St. Paul’s, Greenville. This will be an early start and a late finish and will be totally worth it. There’s a $15/person fee to cover food and supplies (and we have been given some scholarship money, so if you don’t have the $15, please still sign up).
Our friends from Annunciation, Lewisville will be serving with us at Sulphur Springs! This is a great chance to see people you met at summer camp, on a mission trip, or at Bishop’s Ball. It’s also a great chance to earn any service hours you may need for school or other organizations, and have fun with your Ascension friends while doing it.
You can register by sending me an e-mail or by leaving a comment on this post (just click “Comments” below and tell me you are coming!). You will need to bring this form with you on the 26th, along with a check to Ascension for $15 (or cash, or ask me for a scholarship).
(2) Sunday, April 27: Mission Trip Organization Meeting! This is for all youth and parents who are even possibly interested in the mission trip this summer. We are laying the groundwork for a truly amazing trip to Atlanta together … but what we need now is YOU. Come find out more, check out a slideshow, get details, and ask your questions. Meet in the parish hall after the 10:15 service.
come to one, come to both!
