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: November 15
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz shares how a historian’s request about Pete and Toshi Seeger’s 1943 wedding led to a discovery: the couple married in Ascension’s All Saints Chapel. The marriage register also revealed the officiant, Edward George Harris, a former assistant priest here who later became a distinguished Episcopal leader. As we celebrate our bicentennial, the parish is collecting stories of its saints and its place in New York and Episcopal history, sharing these findings in the weekly newsletter.
