You can listen to the All Saint’s Day sermon delivered by The Rev. Elizabeth Maxwell, Rector, at this link or in the section From Our Pulpit on the sidebar at right.

We will observe All Saints’ Day at our Sunday morning services at 9 & 11 am and the 7 pm evening service. The Ascension choir will sing special music at the 11 am service (music listed on the lower right sidebar).

REMINDER! We will celebrate our Harvest Dinner on Wednesday, November 11th at 7pm. Mother Liz will speak about what drew her to Ascension and why she accepted the call to be our Rector. We’ll start with drinks and hors d’oeuvres in the parlor of our newly renovated Rectory followed by a catered dinner in the Parish Hall. Please RSVP before Friday, November 6th to apjones@ascensionyc.org or call (212) 254-8620. We look forward to seeing you there!
