This Sunday, May 5th, there will be a brief meeting after the 11 a.m. service with Mother Liz. Are you thinking about being confirmed or received in the Episcopal Church? Renewing your baptismal vows and deepening your commitment to Christ? Are you just curious about this particular Anglican branch of the Jesus Movement, or about Christianity in general? This class will address questions about the Episcopal Church and prepare those who want to be confirmed or received when Bishop Andrew St. John visits Ascension on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 30. Inquirers’ classes start meeting very soon, so please speak to Mother Liz if you are interested in attending.

Parish News: November 15
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz shares how a historian’s request about Pete and Toshi Seeger’s 1943 wedding led to a discovery: the couple married in Ascension’s All Saints Chapel. The marriage register also revealed the officiant, Edward George Harris, a former assistant priest here who later became a distinguished Episcopal leader. As we celebrate our bicentennial, the parish is collecting stories of its saints and its place in New York and Episcopal history, sharing these findings in the weekly newsletter.
