If you missed a Sunday and the sermon, most of the sermons can be heard online the following week at the right sidebar below on this page in the section “From our Pulpit”. You can hear recent sermons such as Father Ed Chinery’s sermon on August 19 all the way back to the first audio sermon posted May 3, 2015, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, by our then very new Rector, The Rev. Elizabeth G. Maxwell. You can listen to that that sermon with link https://ascensionnyc.org/8561. Just click on the Audio link.

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.
