Ascension’s Mission Statement
“DISCIPLES OF CHRIST CALLED TO SERVE NEIGHBORS NEAR AND FAR”

The Good Samaritan

 Beginning today, Sunday, July 11, we will pray aloud in unison at the conclusion of the regular Prayers of the People a new prayer titled

Ascension’s Prayer for Mission:
O God, creator of heaven and earth, open our hearts and minds to embrace unity with you and with one another as we strive to practice forgiveness and reconciliation.  Help us to be mindful of others and to invite and welcome others to our parish. Lead us to walk the path as  disciples of Christ, called to serve neighbors near and far. Direct us on our journey as we strive to meet the needs of our parish and community through sharing and caring, enhancing our lives and faith through relationships and interactions with one another. Guide us as we seek to meet the spiritual needs of God’s people in our worship, prayer, and study. Help us to show gratitude to you through faithful stewardship of our time, talents, and resources. May we be united as one with you and your creation through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
