Cookouts are practically an Anglican tradition. At least, they’re certainly an Ascension one!
Join us Wednesday evening, June 29th for our monthly summer BBQ — 7pm in front of the church. A sign-up sheet is in the parish hall or you can call the parish office at 212-254-8620 to let Andrew know you’re coming, and what you might like to bring. We hope to see you there!
This week our associate rector, Father Ed, reflects on late summer’s quieter rhythm in the city and the subtle shifts in energy he observes while making pastoral calls. He contrasts the effects of anxiety-inducing news cycles with the neurological benefits of worship and faith community—the oxytocin and endorphins that come from fellowship. He encourages us to keep returning to church, trusting that our shared spiritual practice sustains hope.
