The rest of the year is given to the study of sources on stewardship. Training is mostly experience. Personal experience in having given to God and received many-fold is helpful in testimony, experience with raising money, financial matters and public relations is useful. 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.
