This Sunday, September 30, 2018, the choir and Sunday School return in their fullness, and we hope that you will be here too! Please join with the whole Ascension community to celebrate the new season and our life together. Also, this is the final Sunday to bring Backpacks for Uganda. We are again collecting backpacks and school supplies for the school children in Uganda. We need backpacks (new or used), crayons, notebooks, note paper, pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pens. All donations will be collected and blessed at the 11am service. No time to shop? You may go to trustlines.org/donate, make a donation online and we will shop for you! Thank you so much for your generosity.

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.
