We welcomed Meredith Ward as our preacher this Sunday. Meredith has been an active member of Ascension for eight years and is a Postulant for ordination to the Priesthood in the Diocese of New York. She is currently attending Union Theological Seminary.
For Welcome Back Sunday, Mother Liz explores the parable of workers hired throughout the day but paid the same wage, provoking questions about abundance and what we fear in sharing generously. She welcomes back summer travelers and the returning choir, inviting us to trust in God’s abundance and practice generosity as we gather to do the urgent work we’re called to together.
