This year the event takes place in Central Park on Sunday, May 19th. As her final major event as a 23-year-old — as well as her first public service duty as a baptized Christian — Zennie Trieu will be dedicating her 24th birthday to fundraising a $5,000+ goal for the annual AIDS Walk NY. She invites her fellow parishioners to join her and create Team Ascension. Sign-in begins at 8:30am on the morning of the walk, and the event ends around 1:30pm. This will, unfortunately, conflict with the morning services, but Zennie is definitely coming to the 7:00pm! She hopes to see you at both the walk and the evening service. Please visit ny.aidswalk.net/ascension to donate and for more information, or contact Zennie directly at zt333@nyu.edu.

Parish News: August 23
This week our associate rector, Father Ed, reflects on late summer’s quieter rhythm in the city and the subtle shifts in energy he observes while making pastoral calls. He contrasts the effects of anxiety-inducing news cycles with the neurological benefits of worship and faith community—the oxytocin and endorphins that come from fellowship. He encourages us to keep returning to church, trusting that our shared spiritual practice sustains hope.
