it’s time once more for Midday Madness … that time each month when we make up any excuse to go out and have lunch together after church.
This month we’re going to Roma’s Pizza, that hidden gem of an Italian place tucked away off Greenville across from Presbyterian Hospital (ok, now I am writing like an ad executive). bring your $ for lunch. if it is nice out maybe we’ll sit on the patio!
don’t forget that this Sunday is also Second Sunday Senior High Sunday School at Starbucks (SSSSSS, because SSSHSSS just doesn’t have that same ring) from 9 a.m. to 9:50 a.m. at the Starbucks on Abrams and Royal.
come to one! come to both! (come to church in between.) see you there.

check out these pictures from our trip to Austin Street Centre last Saturday. we served 325 guests, learned about the Centre’s ministry, and presented Fr. Harry Dailey with the $895.50 we raised last month from Souper Bowl of Caring.

so we are going to go to Austin Street Centre with the Feed the Homeless group from Ascension this Saturday. A group from Ascension goes almost every month but this is special because we, the EYC, are going to present the check for the money we raised from Souper Bowl of Caring last month. so, the more youth that can come the better this will be.
details: meet in the Ascension parking lot between 6:45 and 7:00 p.m., Sat., March 1. you can drive yourself to and from Austin Street, or if you need transportation please send me an e-mail. NOTE: if you are planning to ride with another youth you need a written note of permission from your parents AND their parents.
Bring a (heated-up) Stouffer’s lasagna if you can. otherwise don’t worry about it and just come, that’s most important!
After we finish at Austin Street around 8:30, we might go to OHOP together if people are interested … mmm … late night breakfast food …
what is Austin Street Centre and what do they do? they are a really cool ministry serving people who are homeless or poor here in Dallas. they are run by a husband and wife team who happen to both be Episcopal priests. learn more here.
as an added bonus, if you need community service hours for school or other organizations, this is a perfect opportunity. just let me know and i will sign off for you.
please let me know if you are coming by leaving a comment or sending me an e-mail!

during Compline, at movie night on Sunday night:
Stephen: so we don’t say “alleluia” during lent because it’s a word of rejoicing, so we wait until the easter season.
John: oh i get it, it’s like lent is the emo season.

This is a historic moment: the birth of the first ever inaugural official Ascension EYC blog.
What is this webpage for? It’s a place for anyone in senior high at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Dallas. And their friends. And their acquaintances. And anyone in the cybersphere who might stumble across this page. It’s a place for agnostics, catholics, evangelicals, skeptics, sacramentalists, seekers, liberals, conservatives, and even people who like Hannah Montana (though we might make fun of you from time to time, in a nice way). Basically it’s a place where we can post stuff about our life together, stuff we think is interesting, stuff we wonder about, and so forth.
At Ascension we are pretty much up for being your friend whoever you are, whatever school you go to, whoever you have a crush on, and whatever makes you tick. We are pretty much fond of Jesus and this whole church thing (but not in a creepy way). Also we like to do fun stuff, serve the poor and people who suffer, and use the brains God gave us to ask questions about life and what’s important.
Also we like lolcats.
