The Right Rev. Herbert Donovan, a retired bishop of the Diocese of New York, much loved by our congregation for many decades, will be our welcome guest on June 5 as we “translate” the Feast of the Ascension to the following Sunday and welcome new members into our parish, communion and the household of faith by baptism, confirmation and reception.

Please join us for a special Sunday service at 11 a.m., with a full choir, as we celebrate The Ascension of Our Lord (the feast has the same name as a certain mural you may want to check out that day, if you haven’t visited us before), welcome Bishop Donovan and new members to our parish, and then entertain one another with a special reception following the service in the Parish Hall.

Parish News: March 16

In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz reflects on Jesus’ deep grief and longing as he laments over Jerusalem, using the image of a mother hen gathering her chicks — a scene depicted in a mosaic at the Dominus Flevit Church on the Mount of Olives. In the face of a broken world, we are reminded that God not only weeps for us but with us. Lent can be a season of lament, but also one of comfort and renewal, as we take shelter under God’s loving, mothering wings and find strength for the work ahead. On Sunday we are delighted to welcome the Rev. Megan Sanders as our guest preacher and forum leader! Mother Megan is chaplain to Canterbury Downtown and staff in charge of the Episcopal Diocese of New York’s Young Adult Network.
