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.
