Visit five selected galleries in one of New York City’s thriving art areas. Two Ascensionites who are residents of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, have graciously agreed to host anchor events: brunch at Timothy O’Rourke’s and afternoon cocktails at Steve Hubbard’s home. Gallery exhibits range from minimalist to installation art and include some works in oil, others in watercolor and sculpture. Saturday, June 4, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Rain date is Saturday, June 11, 2011). To join us, sign up on the sheet in the Parish Hall.

Parish News: August 23
This week our associate rector, Father Ed, reflects on late summer’s quieter rhythm in the city and the subtle shifts in energy he observes while making pastoral calls. He contrasts the effects of anxiety-inducing news cycles with the neurological benefits of worship and faith community—the oxytocin and endorphins that come from fellowship. He encourages us to keep returning to church, trusting that our shared spiritual practice sustains hope.
