Newsletter & Order of Service for the Fourth Sunday of Easter

Join us for worship online Sunday at 11 a.m. via Zoom. We are delighted to welcome the Rev. Dr. Claudio Carvalhaes as our guest preacher and forum leader at Ascension. Dr. Carvalhaes, ordained in the Presbyterian Church, is Associate Professor of Worship at Union Theological Seminary. He works at the intersection of liturgy, justice and the arts. Two years ago he led a service at UTS that became known as "Plantgate," in which participants confessed to plants their sins against the natural world. To commemorate Earth Day, in the forum following the service we will explore how our liturgies and theology help or hinder our connections with the whole community of creation and our work of ecological love and justice.
