On Sunday we celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender pride and are delighted to welcome The Reverend Deacon Stephen Hagerty as our guest preacher. Stephen was sponsored by Ascension and ordained to the diaconate this past spring at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. After the service, around noon, we will set up our water table to give water to the marchers on Fifth Avenue and commemorate the 46th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Please join us and if you wish to RSVP contact Tom Rice, Steve Hubbard or the parish office or just come help set up after the 11 am service.

Parish News: September 13
On the 25th anniversary of September 11, Mother Liz invites us to remember those lost, the first responders’ sacrifice, and the courage and compassion that arose amid devastation. Ascension will be open for prayer and reflection from 8 am to 5 pm, with bells tolling at 8:46. She shares a prayer from Bishop Allen Shin, calling us to confront hatred, resist violence, and make peace.
