Ascension Day 2021 (Holy Communion)
Channel: Stour Valley Benefice
Date: 10/05/2021

Ascension Day is one of the earliest Christian festivals dating back to 68AD and is the 40th day of our Easter celebrations.

On the day of His Ascension, Jesus commissions his disciples to continue his work, and promises them the gift of the Holy Spirit.

If you are unable to attend our Ascension Service in church in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, from your own home, as he celebrates Christ's Glorious Ascension with Holy Communion from the Vicarage. 

The readings for today are Acts 1:1-11, Daniel 7:9-14, and Luke 24:44-53.    

The hymns for today are, Hail the day that sees him rise, and, Crown him with many crowns.

A service booklet to accompany this service is also available please email rector@stourvalley.org.uk for a copy.
