Cash donations from parishioners at Ascension, area churches, and local service clubs allows NIN to help with shelter, utility bills, and medical costs in emergency situations. Close coordination with South Central Community Action Agency prevents duplication of services. A committee of Ascension parishioners packs food boxes on a rotating basis, shops for food, and administers the cash disbursements. If you have a prayer request or if you would like to be part of the prayer chain, contact the church office. By providing meals during illnesses and food for funeral receptions, visiting the homebound and hospitalized, those in care centers, and acknowledging special events, this group offers practical pastoral care to our Ascension family.
Monthly meetings provide coordination and training for members.
