Dear Ascension Friends:
Each of us has a story, a path that we have walked to bring us to where we are today.
We at Ascension are excited to present an opportunity to learn about each others' paths and, for 5 weeks, walk down the Lenten path together in a unique way. We will be gathering in homes in the Hickory area to study the Bible and to deepen our connection with one another and with Christ.
We want you to be a part of sharing your spiritual journey in a relaxed and comfortable setting for 5 weeks (February 21 - March 28th). Each group will meet once a week for about an hour and a half.
Watch your mailbox - we will be sending you a letter of invitation to give you more information about the times and groups available in your area!
