Ascension Thursday

Ascension Thursday occurs on the fortieth day after Christ's Resurrection. Here at St. Paul's we marked this feast day with Holy Eucharist and a fabulous feast. The congregation stood as the rector and verger led us through The Way of Resurrection from Meditations on the Fourteen Resurrection Appearances by R. Chapman and Journey into Joy by A. Walter.

Here is the Collect for that 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.
