Our historic church is in need of plaster repairs and painting of the interior.  Ascension Church serves the Linwood and Allentown community.  It is a beacon of hope and respite in Buffalo.  We have an outreach to Compass House and serve as a base for Young Audiences of Western New York, bringing art and history to elementary schools and Dance Camp, a dance school for African-American Children.

We need to raise $5,000 by the end of November.  If you can help us, please send your donation to the church office marked: Interior Painting.  Thank you.
