The Summer Volunteer Choir will sing this Sunday, July 14, and also on August 11. Rehearsals are in the Parish Hall each of those Sundays at 9:15 (enter through 12 West 11th Street.) Rehearsals go until about 10:10, then the choir will sing at the 11am service. This is always lots of fun. If you would like to be part of the group for any or all of those Sundays, just email Dennis Keene at denniskeene@ascensionnyc.org.
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.
