Our Touch A Heart Ministries take "caring" to another level.  The collection of ministries that make up Touch A Heart address the immediate physical and spiritual needs of people and is staffed by volunteers.  Some of the ministries are:

• Audio Tape Ministry - provides a recording of the Sunday service for shut-ins and others who request a tape.
• Baptismal Baby Blanket Ministry - providing beautifully knitted baby blankets for Ascension members and friends whose babies are being baptised at Ascension.  The knitter prays for the designated recipient while knitting the blanket.
• Care Basket Ministry - assemble home or hospital baskets.  These baskets are delivered when the need occurs (i.e. long hospitalizations, needs after discharge).
• Care Package Ministry - support college students and members of the military, who are away from home for extended periods of time.  The desire is to let these individuals know through letters, cards and a package how important they are to the Ascension family and they are not forgotten
• Crosses for Christ Ministry - a craft-based ministry, which will bring great somfort to those suffering a loss or a serious illness.  It is also a great way to make Ascension's presence felt in the entire community.  Prayer is a crucial step in all procedures done in any ministry.  Pray for healing, wisdom, peace and salvation for those who receive the crosses.
• Meal Program Ministry - to offer a prepared meal to families and individuals who may be temporarily fragmented due to the arrival of a new baby, a death, a hospital stay or someone who just needs a meal to carry them through the day.
• Phone Call Ministry - to check on people who are home bound.  The call lets people know Ascension cares, but it sometimes connects people to services or needs that shut-ins may not want to ask for or don't know exist.
• Prayer Shawls Ministry - knitted and presented to persons with illness, deep loss, spiritual decline, and other personal concerns. The knitter prays for the individual during the making of the shawl and then it is presented in prayer to the person.  This is a deeply moving and gentle embrace of the power of prayer and caring.
• Transportation Ministry - for people who need to get to an appointment, or meeting at Church.
  
• Visitation Ministry - visits to the ill and elderly, to the hospitals, nursing homes, and to the individuals home.
