Due to extreme weather conditions Church of the Ascension services are cancelled this Sunday, August 28, 2011. We pray that you are all safe and in good care along with your families. The Parish Office will reopen on Monday, August 29th.
— The Rev. Shelley D. McDade
Associate Rector
This week, the rector reflects on Paul’s affirmation that nothing—death, hardship, corruption, violence, or our own failings—can separate us from God’s love in Christ. She explores how the Spirit sustains us in our weakness, interceding with sighs too deep for words. She invites us to consider how we might live differently if we truly believed this conviction shapes not only our ultimate fate but our daily struggles.
