This weekend, we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord. I think of the Ascension in its context as a part of the Paschal mystery, which includes Jesus’ life and ministry, his suffering and death, his resurrection, his ascension, and his sending forth the Holy Spirit to the world. These parts of the Paschal Mystery, as a whole, comprise the reality of our faith. In the Ascension, we can better understand Christ’s relationship with the Father, with Christ having entered into the state of glory in heaven that he shares with the Father. We are looking forward to Vacation Bible School this week, an even that our children and families enjoy each summer. We are very thankful to Tammy Threadgill and the many volunteers whose hard work make this wonderful VBS experience possible for our parish. We look forward to being together this week - Father Lincoln.
