A Message from the Rector, Thursday, April 9, 2020.
This year we celebrate Maundy Thursday at 7pm with readings and reflection, and a simple meal shared online. This is a new experience at Ascension, though it is an old tradition for Maundy Thursday. Please prepare some simple food in your own home, and set it out next to your computer. It is traditional to have bread and wine, as well as some other Lenten fare, and to bless the food as part of the service. This is not a Eucharist, but it does invite our reflection on the sharing of food in community, and the presence of Christ at all our tables. If you have questions, please contact the clergy.

This week, the rector reflects on Paul’s affirmation that nothing—death, hardship, corruption, violence, or our own failings—can separate us from God’s love in Christ. She explores how the Spirit sustains us in our weakness, interceding with sighs too deep for words. She invites us to consider how we might live differently if we truly believed this conviction shapes not only our ultimate fate but our daily struggles.
