This Sunday, in-person worship (masks required) at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and for our online worshipers, an improved experience using a professional webcasting service called “Local Live.” You can watch the webcast of the 11 a.m. service by going to ascensionnyc.org/webcasts — or continue to join a community of online worshipers at 11 a.m. via Zoom by going to ascensionnyc.org/sunday.

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of All Saints. This past week, we celebrated All Souls, known in Latin American cultures as Dia de los Muertos. In this week’s newsletter, Mother Posey shares a picture of the quilt displayed as a pulpit hanging that day and gives us some background on how it came to be.

The rector writes: “From November 1-12, leaders from all over the world are gathering in Glasgow, Scotland for COP26, the UN Conference on Climate. For the next two weeks, I invite you to join me in praying every day for those gathered in Glasgow.” Also: News about our neighborhood Halloween festivities, a Wednesday Eucharist commemorating All Souls, and much more!

This week: commissioning of Stewardship Campaign canvassers, iced tea and lemonade in the Fifth Avenue garden after church, our annual Harvest Dinner on Wednesday (to be held again via Zoom, which turned out to be a fun approach last year), and a special, spooky coffee hour for our neighbors next Sunday!
