But mandatory is a real love for Ascension church, it's mission and outreach and heartfelt desire to make sure the church is monetarily supported. Training is through observation. Subjects range from the serious to the absurd. The main activities for the group are prayers for each other, preparing the annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, and voluntary participation in our yearly diocesan Men's Conference in the autumn. A weekly gathering for mothers to study, pray, and share.
Topics chosen are relevant to the challenges of raising families and maintaining spiritual balance.
Child care is always provided. Teachers hold AA and BA degrees in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. The advisory board has a vestry member, a clergy representative, a community member as well as parent representatives who hold in common with the staff the belief that early childhood education is a critical, unique, and valuable stage in the process of human development. Parishioners are encouraged to enroll their children in the school. The board meetings are held once a month, currently at noon on the third Tuesday.
