You may subscribe, get notifications, view playlists... click here for more information... or go directly to the Ascension YouTube Channel Page. This means you can conveniently find all Ascension videos all in one place, without having to scroll and sift through all of our other Facebook group postings. Kudos to Taylor Lunsford for creating and managing our videos!

Interested in participating in our 30 Days of Prayer beginning August 1st? In addition to the prayer and daily scripture readings, we have prepared a list of daily actions (for both people who identify as white and people that do not).
It is our hope that these activities will help us all gain a greater appreciation for our unconscious biases and our place in the system of white privilege that perpetuates racism in our society.
You will need something in which you can keep daily notes and reflections if you will also be participating in the action component of 30 Days of Prayer.
Follow along daily on social media for the scripture readings and actions, and we hope you will share with us your comments about your experience as you go along.
For more information on the 30 Days of Prayer initiative, why we're doing it, how it works, and the materials you will need, please visit our website:

COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no worship services or any group meetings in the church building until further notice. Father Peter and the Vestry are working with our diocesan leaders to plan for re-opening safely when the time is right.
Regular office hours remain suspended until further notice; clergy and staff are working (mostly) from home. Access to the building is limited to those with specific permission, and "Healthy at Work" guidelines apply to everyone who enters the building.
