Because we believe that God's Work is often accomplished by Our Hands, Ascension will be joining ELCA congregations across the country in a local God's Work Our Hands project. Along with four other Lutheran congregations, known as the Glenbrook Parish, we will offer two service opportunities on Saturday, September 6. 

The Watersmeet Restoration—Northfield

We have only 20 spots available to us for this forest preserve stewardship day. Volunteers must be at least high-school age. The work is physical and outside. Please dress appropriate for the weather. 

Feed My Starving Children—Libertyville

We have many volunteer spots available for this food packing day. Volunteers must be at least 5-years of age. There will be tasks for all abilities and the work is inside. Financial contributions are encouraged to support the work of Feed My Starving Children. 

Financial contributions may be made to Ascension by check (memo GWOH). If you would like to give electronically, please contact the church office.

Last year we welcomed over 100 volunteers for God's Work Our Hands. You will want to be part of this hands-on, mission-focused, life-changing project.
