St. Matthew’s Good News – 5/3/2024
Ascension Day, observed on the fortieth day following Easter, commemorates the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven to be received and “sit at the right hand of God the Father”. This year, it falls on Thursday, May 9th, and our service will begin at 11:00 AM. For Episcopalians, The Feast of Ascension is one of our principal days of worship during the year.
The day holds profound significance in Christianity, marking the completion of Jesus’ earthly ministry and his exaltation at the right hand of God. It is a time for Christians to reflect on the promise of Jesus’ return and the hope of eternal life.
I hope you will all be able to join us.
Fr. Tom

READING AND STUDY GROUP
This summer, we will initiate a study using the book “Toxic Charity: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help, and How to Reverse It.” This study aims to foster dialogue on the most effective ways to assist the homeless and those suffering for various reasons. There is a sign-up sheet now posted in the hallway outside of the office for those interested in participating in this class. After a few weeks, a scheduling meeting will be planned to discuss the specifics. I am considering beginning the class in May or June. It will likely consist of four seminar-style classes on a Saturday or a weeknight, depending on what suits everyone. Your feedback is welcomed.
