Thank you to Father Chris, who led our Collective Worship, this week. With Ascension Day officially being on Thursday 14th May, Father Chris reminded us of what Ascension is a celebration of. Ascension Day is also called the Feast of Ascension and it is the day that Christians celebrate Jesus’s ascent into heaven. Father Chris reminded us of all of the good work that Jesus carried out during his time on earth, but that his ascent into heaven meant that God’s word could be spread further and wider. Father Chris compared Jesus’s work on earth to a torch, shining light into darkness. However, once Jesus ascended into heaven, God’s message is like the torch shining on a disco ball – reflecting the light across the whole world.
We are very much looking forward to our own Ascension Day celebrations, on Friday 22nd May, when our Worship Committee will be leading us in a service at church and the children will demonstrate their skills and talents.
