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: May 24
In this week’s newsletter, the rector notes Pentecost’s reversal of Babel—not by restoring a single language, but by enabling understanding across difference as each speaks and hears in their own tongue. She treasures hearing parishioners read “God’s deeds of power” in many languages during worship, and invites us to consider what it means to speak of God in our own heart language—whether shaped by mother tongue, place, trust, or profound shared experience. In a time of contempt for difference, Pentecost reveals the blessing of many tongues and the Holy Spirit’s gift of mutual understanding across culture, faith, and ethnic background.
