The Church of the Ascension will participate in the Community Thanksgiving Eve service on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 7:00pm at The First Presbyterian Church on Fifth Avenue between 11th and 12th Street. Proceeds from the collection will go to Ascension Outreach for the food pantry program.
The service will include music by the Children’s Choir of the Village Temple with a kosher reception following. All are welcome.
In this week’s newsletter, the rector invites us to consider Ascension’s columbarium as a resting place for ashes, a dignified space where loved ones can be remembered and visited. Prices rise at the start of 2027, so current rates apply through the end of this year. She notes that planning ahead can bring peace to us and those who love us, and offers to talk through these decisions with those who may wish to.
For 200 years the Church of the Ascension has served our community with inspiring worship, spiritual nourishment, social engagement, and world-class music. In this celebratory Bicentennial Year, please join us in supporting Ascension with your annual pledge that will help us plan for tomorrow and perpetuate this beautiful gift for current and future generations.
