We welcome Stacey Carpenter as our guest preacher this Sunday, July 21st. Stacey is preparing to leave for her first year at the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas, and the following Sunday, July 28, will be her last at Ascension for several months. Please join us to give her a prayerful, festive send off. Due to the warmer weather, the 11 a.m. Eucharist will be held in the Parish Hall (where the air is comfortably conditioned). The entrance is around the corner from the church in the Ascension Parish House, 12 W. 11th Street. Watch the weekly email on Fridays for this and other updates. The 9 a.m. Eucharist will be held at the Side Altar in the church, and the 7 p.m. Service of Meditation & Sacrament will be held in the Nave and Chancel of the church, as usual.

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.
