Feast of the Ascension Holy Eucharist
Thursday, May 9, 2024, 6:00 PM
in Saint Michael Chapel – Incense will be in use
The feast of the Ascension is one of the principal services of the church year, equal in significance to Christmas and Easter. This observance celebrates a special moment in the ministry of Jesus, the time when he returned to the Father in anticipation of the coming of the Holy Spirit (Jn 14.15-28) and was granted authority over all things both in heaven and on earth (Eph 1.17-23). Experiencing the blessings of the Ascension is thus an essential part of Christian faith and practice. All are invited and encouraged to take part in this celebration, for “God himself has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of the ram’s horn” (Ps 47.5)!
