Weekly Update - Epiphany 5 | Church of the Ascension

Dear friends,

Fr Julian, Yuki, Zayden, and Owen are back from their Vancouver Island getaway. Unfortunately, their first holiday in BC felt more like Calgary! We are glad to have them back. Fr Julian will preach the second installment of our four-part justice series this Sunday. The topic is Radical Generosity: The Justice of Giving What Belongs to God.

Concerning the snow, I want to say a heartfelt thanks to the men who stepped up last Sunday to provide vallet parking to some of our parishers. It is encouraging to see Christ's love in action!

Christ's blessings to you all,

Fr Ken
