We invite you to participate in the Stewardship Committee’s Time & Talent Survey if you have not already done so. The purpose of the survey is to poll members of Ascension’s congregation about their professional backgrounds and other gifts, experiences and interests. You can download the PDF version of the survey here and either mail, email or bring to church with you. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions and to consider how God might be calling you to serve. We hope this will help you to discover fulfilling opportunities to grow spiritually, to serve our Lord, and to help others according to your gifts, talents, and abilities. Thank you for your time.

Parish News: April 26
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz celebrates Earth Month alongside Eastertide, noting how resurrection speaks not only to humanity but to “the groaning of the whole creation” and God’s determination to make all things new. She observes that when Mary Magdalene mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener, we glimpse the deep interconnection of all beings—and when we touch creation’s wounds with reverence and compassion, we meet God. Quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer, the rector reminds us that “when we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us,” and invites us to deepen our love and commitment to our fragile, beautiful planet.
