Can you help Ascension welcome our newest neighbors this Sunday, August 25th? We will have a table outside on Sunday morning between services and during coffee hour, sharing information and treats with students and their families on this very hectic day of moving into dorms and getting settled. Please help us share the Good News and some good ole Ascension hospitality. To volunteer, please contact David Lehmann at davidlehmann@verizon.net. Thank you!

Parish News: May 17
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz celebrates the parish’s feast day with Malcolm Guite’s sonnet on the Ascension, exploring its paradoxes: ending and beginning, absence and presence, humanity and divinity. Jesus leaves the disciples to fill all things with even more profound intimacy, and it is his broken, still-wounded body—”the heart that broke for all the broken hearted”—that ascends to God’s heart. The rector invites us to sit with these mysteries during the “dazzling darkness” between Ascension and Pentecost, pondering how we are held and hidden with Christ while called to be his presence in a world of crisis, wonder, and grief.
