For Trinity Sunday, the rector shares a prayer from the Iona Community in Scotland:
I am bending my knee
in the eye of the God who created me
In the eye of the Son who died for me
In the eye of the Spirit who moves me
In love and in desire.
For the many gifts you have bestowed on me
Each day and night
Each sea and land
Each weather fair
Each calm, each wild
Thanks be to you, O God.

Music for Pentecost
This last Sunday before they take a summer break, our organ and full choir will lift our spirits and set our eyes on the Holy Spirit as they “pull out all the stops” — perhaps not quite literally (there are a lot of stops on our organ), but very nearly so.

The rector writes: “This Sunday, the Feast of Pentecost, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, both upon Jesus’ first disciples and among us today. Pentecost is often called the birthday of the Church, and we have certainly had a lot of opportunity recently to think about what it means to be Church, gathered as Christ’s body and sent forth to share the gospel.” Read this week’s newsletter to learn more about what’s going on Sunday, this week, and in the weeks ahead in our parish, the diocese, and the wider body of Christ.

The rector writes: “This Sunday, the 6th Sunday of Easter, is traditionally celebrated as Rogation, from the Latin rogare, to ask. It is a time particularly dedicated to blessing the spring planting, and praying for a fruitful harvest — a reminder of our dependence on God and on the bounty of the earth. Here at Ascension, we will mark this day by blessing our church garden after the 11 amservice.” Also this week: On Ascension Day — Thursday, May 18, at 7 pm — we are delighted to welcome the Rt. Rev. Mary Glasspool, Assisting Bishop of New York, to preach, celebrate, and confirm and receive new members on our special feast day. The service will be followed by a joyful reception!
