Feeding the Hungry
Our Outreach Mission is to reach out to our community and help those in need. Every 3 months we gather together in Ascension's kitchen to prepare a nourishing evening meal that will feed over 100 adults and children. We take the food over to Ann Hope UMC in Seneca around 5pm and serve it out of their kitchen. If this is a service that you'd like to help with; please contact The Church Office (864) 882-2006 for more information.
"RISE AGAINST HUNGER" Was held at Ascension on October 5th.
It was fantastic...we had 40 volunteers who packed 10,000 meals. (There were 10-12 from Ascension and the rest from Clemson and Seneca). We are grateful to all who helped make this event so fruitful...we will let you know where our meals are going soon. #2030 is possible! Let’s work together to end hunger by the year 2030.
Update: 10,152 meals were sent to Somalia to feed the hungry!! Great Job Everyone.

CHANGE FOR CHANGE - The Mason Jar Initiative for the future
Our parishioners have been asked to collect coins in a mason jar; which they have decorated or left as is. When they feel that it is time to donate the coins - a half jar or a full jar, they bring the jar to church to have the coins blessed on the altar. Then they take the jar back home to refill.
This is an activity which is fun, uniting, and creating monetary growth in our church.
