From this week’s newsletter: Ascension’s ancient parish hall air conditioners overheated during June’s hot weather, prompting replacement with newer, more efficient units. The installation process required removing portraits of past rectors, sparking a task force to consider additional renovations as the parish prepares for its 200th anniversary and the next century of ministry. If all goes as planned with the AC renovation, services should return to the re-air-conditioned Parish Hall on July 19th.
The Church of the Ascension is excited to welcome Dr. Alexander Little as our next Director of Music!
