We ask that each member bring along a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Ashland Food Pantry. Each donation will receive one raffle ticket.
Finding Us
Ashland is located off Exit 24, Interstate 93. Turn right onto Main Street. Turn left onto Gordon Street (at Bob’s Shurfine), at end, turn right onto School Street, and the church is directly in front of you on Highland St. Your own GPS will get your there, I’m sure!
