On Saturday, March 5th, we will be celebrating the life of our friend and colleague, bass Walter Richardson. Walter, who sang with our choir and Voices of Ascension for many years, passed away on October 10th after a long illness. We will have a memorial service with music at 5p.m. in the Church and a pot luck reception in the Parish Hall afterward for singers and other friends who knew and loved
Walter. Anyone wishing to attend the reception please contact Denise Kelly at (212) 254-8620 x10 to sign up for food or beverages.

Please join us in supporting Church of the Ascension!
