The Duke Endowment has again given Ashe County another Summer

Reading Program, consisting of rising first and second graders whose

teachers recommend, and it is being hosted by the West Jefferson

United Methodist Church.

To date we have 28 students which filled our goal. The program

begins June, 2025 and ends July 18th, 2025, Mondays through Fridays.

We are in need of volunteers for the afternoon’s activities. This would

be an excellent opportunity for high school student’s pursuing a career

in early childhood learning to earn volunteer hours.

If you have a desire or talent to share or enjoy reading with a child, or

helping with other activities, please contact Pam Cope at 252-341-

0728. Thank you.

Generation Excellent is excited to introduce our new program for 2025:  
“The Promised Seed: Discovering Jesus in the Story of Genesis”

One of the best ways to understand our salvation and our Savior is by looking at the creation account. Realize that a plan of redemption was in place even before the words, “Let there be light” were uttered. Discover the world was created as a setting with tools for this redemption plan. Rejoice in the fact that nothing can alter or disrupt God’s plans. See how the book of Genesis demonstrates that Jesus can take all the evil we create and make something good.  And He does so not because He has to, or not because He should, but because he makes a gracious promise that He would. Marvel at the One Genesis is all about…Jesus, “The Promised Seed”! 

{Also new for this year, when we do a program at your church, we would like to invite your youth/children to participate in a small portion of the opening song of our program.  If this is something your church would like to do, we would practice with them the Friday or Saturday before (whichever works best) and prepare them for performance on Sunday. This will give us all the chance to connect and give them the opportunity to be part of the service on Sunday. Of course this is completely optional. If you choose to participate, more details will be provided. Should you decide this would not work for your youth/kids, we would absolutely respect your wishes.}  

We would love to share this program with your congregation/community and it is our hope and prayer that everyone will see God’s redemption plan like never before.  We are now booking for dates in May through November. Dates are limited so please call and schedule TODAY! Call or email Pam Miller at 336-877-3440/millerpam0217@gmail.com.  

Ashe Pregnancy Care Center is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 to 5.  We are here to help with any pregnancy needs. Zella Gaeta, Executive Director Ashe Pregnancy Care Center 336-846-4100.

 Gideons International of Ashe County reminds you they are speaking to churches about the work they are doing. If you would like to have a speaker,   please, contact  Bill Carter at 336-877-0599.
