On the last Sunday in June we celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender pride with our water table on Fifth Avenue. After the service, around noon, we will set up our water table to give water to the marchers on Fifth Avenue and commemorate the 49th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Please join us! For more information and to let us know you want to volunteer or bring sandwiches or cookies for the volunteers, contact Steve Hubbard or the parish office or just come help set up after the 11 am service. If you would like to march with fellow Episcopalians, they will convene at 3pm on 17th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. The group is in section number 7, section 39. The march route has been changed this year: departs from 7th Avenue and 16th Street, turns left on Christopher Street, heading east across 8th Street and up Fifth Avenue with dispersal at 29th Street.

Parish News: April 26
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.
