The Rev. Posey Krakowsky, our new Priest Associate, will begin her ministry at Ascension this week. She will be the regular presider and preacher at our Wednesday evening 6 pm service starting September 13, and she will preach this Sunday, September 17 at both the 9 and 11 am services. She will also lead a forum following the 11 am service this Sunday introducing herself to us and sharing something of her spiritual journey. Please join us to welcome her and hear her message! Mother Posey will be at Ascension for a weekday service each week, and will either preach or celebrate at least once a month at Sunday services. She will also lead classes and other programs from time to time as she develops a special teaching ministry in spirituality and the arts. We are delighted to have her among us!

Parish News: May 24
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.
