Wednesday Evening In-Person Eucharist
In the Church
6:00 P.M.
Dear People of Ascension,

I am delighted to announce that we plan to begin midweek in person worship on Wednesday, November 4 at 6 pm. Details about how to sign up are below, as well as our plans for keeping those who attend safe. Please contact me if you have questions! I know how much many of us have longed to be together again in the flesh, as well as to receive the Eucharist, and I am very glad that we can finally do that, even in modified circumstances. I look forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday the 4th, or on the Wednesdays following.

 Many blessings,

Liz
In-Person Midweek Eucharist begins Wednesday evening, November 4 at 6:00 p.m. As we take our next step toward reopening the church during this time of pandemic we are opening the church on Wednesday evenings for in-person Eucharist. Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • A reservation is required. Please reserve your seat using the link below and sign up for only one of the next 3 available services to allow others to attend.
  • Maximum of 20 people per service (to adhere to New York State, City and Diocese requirements).
  • Reserve your pew by the prior Friday.
  • We will need to collect your name and phone number for possible contact tracing and to alert you if we need to cancel.
  • Please call (212-254-8620) or email (info@ascensionnyc.org) the parish office if you need assistance.
  • Read the bishop’s directions to learn more about how Eucharist is to be distributed and received during this time of limited contact.me.
  • In order to make sure everyone has a chance to attend, we ask that you do not sign up for more than one service in a row.
  • Members of the same household may sit together but must register individually.
  • When you arrive you must wear a mask at all times and maintain a social distance of at least six (6) feet. Communion will be in one kind (the bread) and when you receive the bread in your hand, please step aside, remove your mask to consume the host, and then replace your mask.
  • When you arrive for the service you will be asked some basic health-screening questions (see below) and your temperature will be taken. Anyone with a temperature higher than 99.9 degrees will be refused entrance to the church and told to quarantine and contact their doctor.
