weekBarbecue dinner on Wednesday, Tai Chi Thursdays & college student welcoming on Saturday. Join us for our monthly Parish BBQ on August 26 around 7pm in the front garden, weather permitting. This Saturday, August 29th, from 9am to 2pm we will welcome NYU and neighboring students moving in for the new school year. We will have a table in front of the church to distribute water, information about life at Ascension and Greenwich Village, and other giveaways. Please consider being a part of the group of parish members who offer hospitality and a spiritual home at Ascension to these students. As always, Thursdays bring Lunch Time Tai Chi classes which are held in the Parish Hall every from noon to 1. It’s a great way to exercise, calm oneself, and increase your flexibility. The cost is $25 per class or $75 per month. All levels and range of ability are welcome! If you are interested, call the Parish Office, or just show up! The weekday and Sunday service schedule is posted above right.

Mother Liz invites us to persist in prayer for justice and to practice gratitude that strengthens and unites our community.
