Our beloved parishioner Stacey Carpenter has finished her first year at the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. She will spend the summer in Olympia, Washington, doing Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) as a hospital chaplain. Next Sunday June 7, after the 11 AM service, she will join us via Zoom to tell us what this past year has been like, how her sense of vocation has grown and developed, and what she is learning and looking forward to in the next few months. Please join us!

Parish News: June 28
This week, our prayer gives thanks for LGBTQ+ children “deeply beloved and beautiful” and celebrates ancestors whose courage opened ways for authentic lives. It acknowledges current threats to hard-won rights and prays especially for transgender youth facing attacks on gender-affirming care. The prayer honors Ascension’s LGBTQ+ members and commits us to sharing cups of water with lemon and love with all who march and serve.
