Prayer List: If you would like to have a name included in this
prayer list, please call the parish office. The “” indicates that
the person is deceased. Names will remain on list for one
month providing there is space
On behalf of our deacon, Jim Scull, all our ministers, and the
members of the Ascension Parish staff, I wish you, our dear
parishioners and visitors, a blessed Easter.
Crucifixion and death – this is what Jesus went through
before God, the Father, raised him from the dead. Ours is the
only religion that began in the horror of pain and death but
ended in the sweet and joyous resurrection of Our Lord. He did
it for us while we were yet sinners; he endured even death so
that we may experience forgiveness, new life in God. The
resurrection tells us there is forgiveness – we can start anew,
we can still enjoy God’s life. It also tells us that death has no
more power over us or over the people we love. We are a
people of Easter. We accept sufferings, we endure pain, we
will be faithful until the end because Jesus promised us – we
will rise with him.
He who promises resurrection to all who believe in him is the
same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us come to him. Let us
experience his forgiveness, let us walk anew in his ways, and
let us be God’s Easter people!
