The Advent Quiet Day will be led by Mtr. Posey Krakowsky and meet from 10:30am to 3pm on Saturday, December 9 in the Parish Hall (12 West 11th Street). Please join us for a day of quiet reflection as we enter a season of waiting for the celebration of Christmas – the time of God’s joyous inbreaking into our world. As winter approaches, and the busy times of the holidays can seem rushed and hectic, this is a chance to intentionally slow down and listen — to stillness, to the hush of the natural world, and to God. We will work with both scriptures and contemporary writing, using lectio divina as well as periods of silence. Please bring a bag lunch – coffee, juice and snacks will be available. Suggested donation is $10. For more information, or to register, please email motherposey@ascensionnyc.org, or call the church office at (212) 254-8620.

Parish News: October 12
This week, the rector reflects on the story of the ten lepers, only one of whom returns to thank Jesus after being healed. She explores the connection between faith, gratitude, and true healing — not just physical restoration but the deep awareness of belonging and abundance. Quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer, she reminds us that gratitude binds us in relationship with God, one another, and all creation. In a world marked by fear and division, practicing gratitude becomes both healing and holy work. How will you say “thank you” today?
