Barbecue 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.
Newsletter
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.
