Announcements
Mid-Year Giving Statements
Mid-year giving statements have been sent out electronically. These are not bills and are purely informational so that everyone knows where they stand in terms of fulfilling both their annual pledge and their pledges to the Ascension Today & Tomorrow campaign. If you need a paper statement mailed to you, please contact Margaret in the office. Just as a reminder: we are financing our construction project ourselves, without any outside loans or assistance. We can do this because of the generosity of you, our parishioners. But it is also very important for everyone to stay as up to date as possible with their giving in order maintain our cash-flow right now. If you have already paid your AT&T pledge in full, thank you. If you haven’t, there is still plenty of time, but we greatly appreciate everyone making progress on those payments.
Engraved Dedication Bricks - Update and Last Call!
Thank you to all the parishioners so far who have ordered dedication bricks for the outdoor altar area as part of their pledge commitments to Ascension Today & Tomorrow (AT&T). We are pleased to announce that we have selected a landscape design team who are aiming to complete this project before the end of the summer, and we are also very excited to see the massive AT&T projects that are currently underway also come to completion this year. So that we can get our brick order to the foundry in a timely manner, we will need to submit the full list of dedications no later than Wednesday, August 5th. This means that if you have made an AT&T pledge and have not submitted an Engraved Brick form, or if you haven't made an AT&T pledge but have been meaning to do so, now is the time. Please contact Peter Carbonaro directly at (516) 712-9023 or peter.a.carbonaro@gmail.com to get your dedication in.

Construction Update
Construction to our parish hall and kitchen continues. At this time it is necessary to enter the parish hall through the parking lot doors. Please stay out of any areas labeled construction zone.
Ascension Today & Tomorrow
Last year we launched the Ascension Today & Tomorrow Campaign to fund the projects that are now well underway. We are able to do this because many of you have already paid your pledges in full. Although AT&T pledges may be paid over three years, it is very helpful if people can make regular progress toward their pledge fulfillment. This helps us with cash flow and to avoid over taxing our reserved funds. If you can make progress on your pledge, please do so. If you haven't made a pledge yet, would you consider one? As you can see, we are taking important steps to improve our building and there will always be more work to do. Your support is very much appreciated.
Updated Giving Page on Realm
To make giving easier and more seamless, we’ve updated our Realm giving page. The dropdown menu has been refreshed to help you quickly find and select the funds you’d like to support. We encourage you to explore this convenient way to give.
As we continue serving our congregation and community, please keep the following needs in mind:
Snow Removal Fund — This winter brought significant snowfall, and although the snow has melted, the expenses remain. This fund helps offset the costs of snow removal already incurred.
Ascension Today & Tomorrow — Construction on our kitchen and entrance is underway and will continue throughout the summer. Your support helps us move forward with these important improvements.
General Fund — Sustains our weekly ministries, outreach, and day‑to‑day operations.
Your faithful generosity makes a meaningful difference in all we do. You may give online through our updated platform or during our regular worship services.
Thank you for your continued support.
