Women's Retreat
March 17–19
Carol Holmes and Janine Fleming are planning a retreat at Keswick Retreat Center. We need to get an approximate headcount, so if you're interested please email janine@ashlandchurch.org.
The retreat center is only about an hour away, with nice facilities, good food, and even an indoor pool! It's in the Pine Barrens on a picturesque lake. Cost is approximately $130–150 which includes 2 nights and 5 meals.
Space is limited, so please respond ASAP!

God's Amazing Story of Redemption & Atonement: The book of Hebrews is the bridge that connects the Old Testament and the New. These covenants are completely different and yet many approach God on the basis of Old Testament Law instead of New Testament faith. The entire book is about Jesus and how He is the guarantee of a new and better covenant. It is essential for every Christian to understand.

Coping with the Holidays
For most people, holidays are a happy, festive time of year. But, for those facing holidays after the loss of a loved one, it can be lonely, depressing, and often difficult to handle. Holidays or not, it is important for you to find a way to take care of yourself. Find more at https://samaritannj.org/resources/coping/

Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is busy making prayer shawls to share with anyone in our congregation, friends or family. They are free and are located in boxes in both hallways across from sanctuary doors. We encourage you to share “a hug,” and let the recipient know that Ashland Church cares and we are praying for them.
