Each year Ascension parishioners participate in the The Children’s Aid Toy Drive at the New York Marriott Marquis. Toys are being collected from Wednesday, 12/ 4, through Wednesday 12/18. Children’s Aid will distribute the toys to each of the children on an individual basis. The Church of the Ascension will also be making toy donations to this worthy cause. A basket will be set up in The Parish Hall for the toy collection. If you would like to make a donation of a new, unwrapped toy, please drop it off in the basket, by Sunday, December 15. If you have any questions, please contact Tom Rice at Rockcent@aol.com or at Thomas.Rice@marriott.com.

This week, Mother Liz reflects on Sarah’s laughter when promised a child past child-bearing age and God’s question “Is anything too wonderful for God?” She invites us to keep our hearts open to wonder during challenging times, sharing her delight in the Knicks’ unlikely comeback victory as an example of life’s mysterious wonders. Such experiences remind us to be surprised by the unimaginable and keep working toward justice and joy.
