Growing our Circle

Fill our your 2027 estimate of giving here!

Our stewardship campaign theme is “Growing our Circle.”   Ascension has heeded God’s call to love and serve in our community at beyond. It’s time to “grow our circle.”

For 2027, we have two stretch goals to serve our neighbors:

• $8,000  Youth Support Fund
• $10,000 Ministry Excellence

The above listed asks are above our current spending for the many activities and ongoing costs that are already budgeted.  Our youth support fund is to be used for financial support to pay for youth activities for youth that are new or on the edges of our youth group.  It can also be used for supporting those youth in need of financial help to afford youth activities.  It is our hope to grow our youth circle.  Our Ministry Excellence support is for all those fixed increases for staff salaries, insurance and the like.  After the Holy Spirit’s coming at Pentecost, the people shared together, had the goodwill of the people and “the Lord added to their number.”  (Acts 2:43-46)

In response to God’s blessing, we ask you to take the following three actions:

First, prayerfully reflect on whether you can do more to help God’s work through or with your church family?

Second, as your pray and learn about our goal to grow our circle, consider what you might give.

Third, fill out a 2027 Estimated Giving Card available in the church office and either mail it in or bring it to the church by Sunday, October 18, 2025. You may also complete an online version.

We are trusting that God continues to do abundantly more than we can imagine to Grow our Circle. Thank you for your ongoing generosity for God’s work!
