The Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac
Ascension will host an ecumenical service of prayer for peace in the Holy Land on June 8 at 11:30 am. Our preacher will be the Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, pastor of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, joining us remotely. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear a powerful Palestinian Christian voice directly! We will welcome colleagues from the Lutheran Church (ELCA), Churches for Middle East Peace, Riverside Church, and others — as well as special music from the oud player of the Armenian band Armadi Tsayn. All are welcome; please join in prayer for peace, justice, security and freedom for all in the land that is holy to so many.

Please join us in supporting Church of the Ascension!

Much of our parish budget supports salaries, utilities and other unglamorous infrastructure of our common life. This in turn makes our programs possible; it keeps our doors open wide, our music soaring and our care for one another steady even in — especially in — hard times. What you pledge to give today will help us plan for tomorrow. If we give what we can, we will continue to receive all of the soul liberating gifts that Church of the Ascension has to offer including our inspiring worship, programming, and community.
