Trinity Sunday & Legacy Society Launch

Share This Post

Trinity iconThis Sunday, May 22nd, we will celebrate Trinity Sunday. Also on this day we will launch the Legacy Society of the Church of the Ascension! Please join us for a festive brunch in place of the regular coffee hour. Liz Hill will conduct a tour of all of the angels depicted in the church after brunch. Be an angel and help celebrate the legacy of past, present and future Ascension Angels.

Services include: 9am Holy Eucharist in All Saints Chapel; 11am Holy Eucharist in the church with sermon and soloist; 7pm Service of Meditations and Sacrament including chant, interfaith readings and communion. Prelude on Sunday morning at 10:45am and postlude after the service on The Manton Memorial organ.

NOTE: Summer is soon upon us and we would like to find out who might join a Volunteer Choir to sing periodically during the summer months at the 11:00am Service. Rehearsals are Sunday mornings at 9:15. It was great fun for those who participated last year! If you are interested, email Dennis Keene at denniskeene at ascensionnyc.org.
