Tomorrow - the Ascension of Christ

The Ascension is one of the most important days in the Christian year. Consider that when Christ ascended ". . . . Heaven was eternally changed, being marvelously developed and expanded, through the arrival and coronation of the Lord Jesus. Through Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life we have the hope of entering into the holy sphere of Heaven, in which he has promised “are many mansions” for the heirs of Abraham’s promise.

So on Ascension Day we celebrate not only the Exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ to the supreme place of authority alongside the Father but also the raising of our human nature into the very centre of heaven. Where he has gone those who are united to him by faith and in love by the Holy Ghost will also go – in heart and mind now and in full bodily reality at the end time." (Toon & Patterson)

Please join us tomorrow (Thursday) for a service of Holy Communion at 7 pm.
