Please join us for Worship services at Ascension Church. Our "Order of Worship"follows The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and the 1982 Hymnal along with other music resources such as GIA and Taize. With the Holy Eucharist as our main worship, we hope to provide you a meaningful time of communing with the Holy Spirit. Our service includes readings from the Holy Bible, a Sermon, Intercessions and the Communion of Bread and Wine. We hope to also provide you with a blended church music - honoring our traditional hymns as well as contemporary praise songs.

All baptized Christians are welcomed to receive the Blessed Bread and Wine which we believe to be the Real Presence of The Risen Jesus Christ.

We also send communion to those at home through the ministry of our Eucharistic Visitors.

We also have special services through the many seasons of the year and invite you to contact us for the dates and times of these services.
