Welcome to our October Newsletter
Big church clean-up
Many thanks for those who volunteered for the clean-up. It was a successful event and made a great impact. Thank you!
Ascension Bereavement Course
Starting on Monday 5th October, we are holding a 7-week course for people who have lost a loved one. Over these sessions this Bereavement Support Workshop will provide a safe space where people can explore their loss and the effect it is having on them. Please signup on the website or via the church office.
New Young Adults Group
The Young Adults group (18-30s) is a place to encounter Jesus, build deep community, and join in God’s loving mission. If you’re a young adult looking to explore or deepen your faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover more of God’s purpose for your life, we’d love you to join us once a month starting Wednesday 7th Oct at 7:30pm.
Green Open Homes
October is a good month to think about reducing your energy needs, and on Tuesday October 13th 7:30pm at Ascension the Grace group are hosting the Green Homes talk which is an opportunity to learn how to lower your energy bills.
Newcomers Lunch Sunday 25th Oct 1pm at Ascension
If you have recently started coming to Ascension, we’d love to invite you to stay after the service for lunch together and a chance to meet others and find out more about what goes on in our church. There is no cost for the meal, but please do sign up on our website or via the church office.

In your personal prayers this month please remember:
- Please pray for Simon as he returns from his Study leave, that he comes back refreshed and ready to jump back into the work of Ascension.
- Please pray for the Light Party that families and volunteers will come and join us on the 31st Oct.
- And lastly, please pray for the Ark Sunday services as it finds its new home in the Moorland Community Centre.
Finally, we want to leave with you with a couple of verses from Proverbs 3: 5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
God Bless,
