Upcoming Events and Services
It is with sadness but understanding that all In-person church services, meetings and classes offered at Ascension are cancelled until some time in the future. However, our Bishop John Taylor has lifted the restriction about officiating in our sanctuaries. The number of people permitted for this activity is VERY limited. But this is a small step forward. Online Activities - Going Forward Together We put copies of the new Forward Movement Day by Day daily devotion booklet at the front of the church (outside). If you happen to walk or drive by, feel free to take one . Christ is Risen! He has Risen Indeed! This Sunday is the Seventh Sunday of Easter.

A prayer for these times: Please take the time to call a few of your Ascension friends. We may be in our own homes apart from one another, but our relationships are still very real. Almighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things: Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise, he abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the ages; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. Blessings, Fr. Michael Stay safe and be well. Know that God is with us. |
