The Kitchen Table Ministry will offer the following at Ascension Church Conner Hall:

Drop-In Sunday: Join us on March 2 after the 9:30am Mass in Ascension Church Conner Hall for coffee, donuts, blood pressure screenings, a listening ear and wellness information. 

Kitchen Table Ministry will sponsor an evening titled “10 ways to stay healthy and well in 2025” on Tuesday February 18 at 6:30pm in Ascension Church Conner Hall. The evening will include a presentation, discussion and dessert. Please consider joining us.

What is the Kitchen Table Ministry? The kitchen table has always been a cornerstone of family life, a place where meals are shared and memories are made. It’s where holiday treats are sprinkled with laughter and love. In today’s world, where challenges like illness, social unrest, and personal struggles affect us all, the need for such a gathering place is greater than ever.

Recognizing this, we have rebranded our “Mental Health and Wellness Ministry” to the “Kitchen Table Ministry.” This new name reflects our commitment to creating a space where stories are shared, support is given, and understanding is nurtured. Join us as we launch new initiatives to bring our community together, one conversation at a time.
