The Ashland Church
APRIL 2008
Thank You Saturday April 5 the Ashland Youth group raised poverty awareness by participating in Cardboard City, and slept in cardboard shelters for the night to simulate homelessness. Saturday night, Eric Ruhl and the Contemporary Worship Team led a service with the youth and supporters on the church parking lot. Thanks to the generosity of church members and the Ashland Community we were able to deliver a van packed with bedding, clothing and food to Bea Gaddy's Family Center in East Baltimore, where the supplies were sorely needed. Here's a photo of the group gathered for worship. More photos are posted here.
Other upcoming  SECOND SUNDAY SPECIAL MUSIC Sunday April 13, the husband and wife guitar duo of Kathrin Murray and Troy King will be playing for the traditional service at 11:00 am. They have performed extensively here and abroad and we are pleased to welcome them back to Ashland. Sunday May 11, the Acapella Quintet, "The Missing Chums" will perform during the traditional service. Mark your calendars for Saturday October 11 at 3 pm. The Russian Acapella group "Lyra" will be with us for another wonderful concert. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Saturday April 19 at 5pm, Timonium United Methodist Church will present their annual Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser which is titled "DOWN HOME DINER". The menu is meatloaf and fried chicken -- what else!! It's a Diner not the Ritz Carlton. Dessert is a Root Beer Float. All this plus a Live and a Silent Auction to raise funds for the United Churches 2008 Build on Ward Street in Pigtown. Tickets are only $13 per person. Ashland usually fills a table so we can be ridiculed by the Irreverent Barrister-Auctioneer, Little Ron. It's fun and for a good cause. Contact the Church Office. YOUTH POWER HOUR! The youth have begun their "Power Hour" campaign to raise money for their summer trip. Need help with the spring cleaning, car washing, or getting the lawn ready for summer? The youth are here to help! Check the sign-up sheet in the hall or contact Katie through the church office.
