Ascension Day Service

Share to

28 May, 2025

Hi friends!

A combined SBLC Ascension Day service, with Holy Communion, will be held this evening, Thursday May 29th, at 7:30 p.m. at Grace St Paul’s.

Nearly any Christian can tell you why we celebrate Christmas and Easter.

But what about the Ascension of our Lord, forty days after Easter - May 29th this year?

Why is Ascension also important to celebrate?

  1. By his ascension, he was providing us with a valuable lesson — everything he came to do was complete. 
  2. With Christians all around the world we can celebrate the Lord’s Supper until he comes again.
  3. With his ascension the promise to send the Holy Spirit could be fulfilled.
  4. We now have Christ himself interceding on our behalf before God.
  5. When Christ ascended, he promised that he would return someday. Now we can live each day looking forward to his return.
  6. Christ returned to heaven to prepare a place for us

There is great value in realizing the impact of events such as the Ascension, and how they shape our lives and define our faith.
