Are you at home during the day? Would you enjoy a monthly lunch with some other folks from Ascension? We’d like to start an informal group of parishioners and friends to share food and conversation; and maybe whatever else develops. Our first lunch will be at 12:30 on Tuesday, June 25 in the parish hall. Please RSVP by calling the parish office at 212-254-8620 or emailing apjones@ascensionnyc.org by Sunday evening, June 23. Also, please tell us if you have any dietary restrictions. Questions? Speak to the clergy. We look forward to seeing you there!
Newsletter
Parish News: October 19
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz looks at the courage of prophetic voices, inspired by Jeremiah’s scroll being destroyed by King Jehoiakim and rewritten in defiance. She draws a parallel to our own time, lifting up the quiet but powerful witness of librarians standing against book bans and censorship that target stories about LGBTQ+ lives, race, and justice. Like Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch, they persist in speaking truth and protecting the right to read — often at personal risk. Mother Liz invites us to honor their courage and consider how we too might stand for integrity and our most vulnerable neighbors.
