Happy Ascension Day!


Ascension Day is one of the key dates on the church calendar. It is the day when we celebrate Jesus' ascension to sit at the right hand of his heavenly Father, after having spent 40 days with the disciples in his resurrected body following Easter Sunday.

On this day, we are reminded that Jesus Christ has rightfully taken his rule over all creation and will one day reappear and all of creation will be renewed and restored forever.

Happy Ascension Day!

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
