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.
This week, Mother Liz shares joyful news: Elizabeth Adams has been accepted by Bishop Heyd as a postulant for ordination to the priesthood in the Diocese of New York. This milestone affirms years of discernment, prayer, and faithful exploration of her call, supported by the parish and diocesan community. Elizabeth will begin seminary studies in fall 2026 leading to ordination, God willing, in 2029. Mother Liz celebrates Ascension’s ongoing role in nurturing vocations and invites the parish to hold Elizabeth in prayer as she continues her journey of joyful “yes” to God’s call.
