Please join us for our parish feast day at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 10, 2018, which is celebrated with a festal Eucharist, baptism and the Ascension choir. The service will be followed by a reception in the Parish Hall. We welcome all as we celebrate both the Ascension of Jesus and our life together at The Church of the Ascension.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wright on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, April 26, 2026.
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz celebrates Earth Month alongside Eastertide, noting how resurrection speaks not only to humanity but to “the groaning of the whole creation” and God’s determination to make all things new. She observes that when Mary Magdalene mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener, we glimpse the deep interconnection of all beings—and when we touch creation’s wounds with reverence and compassion, we meet God. Quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer, the rector reminds us that “when we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us,” and invites us to deepen our love and commitment to our fragile, beautiful planet.
