We have two special events the end of this month: Newcomers’ Brunch and Haunted Church Halloween! Parishioners are invited to brunch on October 30th following the 11am service. Whether this is your first time visiting with us, or you’ve been coming for years, you are invited. This is a great opportunity to welcome, be welcomed and learn about the Church of the Ascension. Please call the church office at (212) 254-8620 to RSVP so we can plan for the food. The following day is Haunted Church Halloween from 3:00 to 6:00pm. All children and their adults are welcome, along with spooky host volunteers to give out treats and welcome all the neighborhood goblins!

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.
