Parish News: Ascension Sunday and Seventh Week of Easter

Jesus ascends to heaven with comission and a promise: a comission to be witnesses to him ‘to the ends of the earth’ and a promise that he will return. And so it falls to us to share the the Good News of his birth, death and resurrection until he comes again. What we need to consider is how we can share what we have recieved. What opportunites do you have?

You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here. 

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.
