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: November 15
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz shares how a historian’s request about Pete and Toshi Seeger’s 1943 wedding led to a discovery: the couple married in Ascension’s All Saints Chapel. The marriage register also revealed the officiant, Edward George Harris, a former assistant priest here who later became a distinguished Episcopal leader. As we celebrate our bicentennial, the parish is collecting stories of its saints and its place in New York and Episcopal history, sharing these findings in the weekly newsletter.
