Ascension’s Recovery Eucharist seeks to intentionally create a safe worship environment for helping those who have been either afflicted or affected by addiction to create a place for spiritual growth and development for those in search of healing and recovery.
It is in the midst of our brokenness that we encounter God’s unconditional love which is manifested in God’s grace. We invite you to come and experience Recovery Eucharist at Ascension!

This week, Mother Liz writes on the Transgender Day of Remembrance, honoring the lives of transgender people lost to hatred and violence and calling us to build a world where all genders are celebrated as reflections of God’s boundless creativity. She shares a moving prayer from the Corrymeela Community that gives thanks for the diversity of human identity and laments the harm done through fear and division. Together, we pray for courage to protect every person’s dignity, to live authentically, and to love in the fullness of Christ.
Much of our parish budget supports salaries, utilities and other unglamorous infrastructure of our common life. This in turn makes our programs possible; it keeps our doors open wide, our music soaring and our care for one another steady even in — especially in — hard times. What you pledge to give today will help us plan for tomorrow. If we give what we can, we will continue to receive all of the soul liberating gifts that Church of the Ascension has to offer including our inspiring worship, programming, and community.
