We will gather for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 9 am in the Muriel Moore chapel on Sunday. Ascension Day (transferred).

The Ascension of Christ or Ascension Day — The occasion on which the risen Christ is taken into heaven after appearing to his followers for forty days (Acts 1:1-11, Mk 16:19). The Ascension marks the conclusion of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances. It is the final elevation of his human nature to divine glory and the near presence of God. The Ascension is affirmed by the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds. The Ascension is celebrated on Ascension Day, the Thursday that is the fortieth day of the Easter season. It is a principal feast of the church year in the Episcopal Church.

All are welcome as we gather together at 9:00 am in our beloved church.
