Lenten graphicThis Sunday, March 9th, is the first Sunday in Lent. Lent is a season to slowly prepare our souls. It is a time to open ourselves up to the presence of God in our lives and let the angels feed us. It is a time to sit among the ashes, confident that love will abound in due time. It is a time to be washed by our tears into the water of new life, to come to real transformation and newness ready to celebrate the feast that is given us at Easter. (Ronald Rolheiser, OMI)

Come and join us as we walk through the season of Lent in a community of love and acceptance. Open yourself up to the rhythms of parish life. Allow us to walk with you through the rhythms of your life. God is always available to be experienced here at The Church of the Ascension.

Sunday Services: 9am Holy Eucharist at Side Altar; 11am Holy Eucharist in the church with sermon, music & choir; 7pm Service of Meditations and Sacrament including chant, interfaith readings and communion.
