The Bishop is Coming! Please join us on June 4, 2017 for Pentecost Sunday as we welcome our Assisting Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Mary Glasspool. And join us as we congratulate and welcome those of us who will renew their commitment to Christ. “Strengthen, O Lord, your servants with your Holy Spirit, empower them for your service, and sustain them all the days of their lives. Amen.” A festive luncheon will follow the 11 o’clock service to honor Bishop Glasspool, those renewing their commitment to Christ, and to celebrate the many blessings of life at Ascension.

In this week’s newsletter, the rector notes Pentecost’s reversal of Babel—not by restoring a single language, but by enabling understanding across difference as each speaks and hears in their own tongue. She treasures hearing parishioners read “God’s deeds of power” in many languages during worship, and invites us to consider what it means to speak of God in our own heart language—whether shaped by mother tongue, place, trust, or profound shared experience. In a time of contempt for difference, Pentecost reveals the blessing of many tongues and the Holy Spirit’s gift of mutual understanding across culture, faith, and ethnic background.
