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: 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.
