All monies raised at these events and activities go to the Building Fund of the Church of the Ascension and are used to pay down the mortgage on our new church.
For details of these events as they draw near, check the Sunday bulletin, the church newsletter, the Fundraising bulletin board, here or under Upcoming.

Tips:
- When partially using a card, always compare the 4 digits of the card number printed on the receipt, with the numbers on the back of the card you received back. This is especially important when using more than one card for a purchase.
- Do not keep gift cards close to electronic devices such as computers and cellphones. This can deactivate the magnetic strip.
- Before using a card for an important event or gift giving, please call the phone # on the back of the card to confirm the amount is loaded on the card.
- If you find a card is de-activated, contact Maureen or Darlene and provide the complete card serial number, value of the card, store name and details of where and when the card was attempted to be redeemed. Vista will be contacted with this information. They in turn will contact the supplier on your behalf and will have the card re-activated or a new card will be issued.
