Welcome to the Parish of the Ascension!
We are a diverse worshipping community, rooted in the
Anglican tradition, in a covenant with God, called to address the
needs of persons living in the Mount Pearl area. If you do not yet have a faith
community, or if you are visiting the Mount Pearl area of Newfoundland and Labrador, we
invite you to come and meet God in Jesus through the ministry of
this faith community.
Word from our Rector for May 20 - May 26, 2012
The Ascension speaks to us of the reign of Christ and his kingdom; let us consider this prayer as we continue to celebrate this week.
God Bless
David
A PRAYER FOR ASCENSION DAY
Let us give thanks for all the signs of the Lordship of Jesus in our world today.
For Christian men and women offering themselves for election to public office; for those who serve Christ in the civil service and other fields of public service; for all who seek to walk Christ’s way in the world of business, commerce, and industry; for those who seek to honour Jesus in the caring professions. They seek to honour Christ; AND WE HONOUR THEM.
For congregations quietly working to welcome refugees and asylum-seekers; for men and women of faith struggling to overcome the debts of nations in order to feed the nations’ starving people and to house the nations’ homeless ones; for Christian teachers, parents and youth workers, celebrating the Kingdom amongst the young; for carers; and for old people facing the end of one stage of the journey, approaching in faith the next. They seek to honour Christ; AND WE HONOUR THEM.
