Andy and Nicky update on how we are going to meet as church over the next few weeks.
Blog post: Spring springing
A March blog post from Lauren, one of our Ordinands: Is it just me or can you feel Spring springing? Now and then a sweet-smelling breeze or a renegade blossoming tree reminds me that winter, frost and storms are not forever. They remind me that scraping my car windows at 5.00am ready for the long drive to college will soon […]
Blog post: the seasons are changing
Sara, one of our lay readers, writes: Dear Friends I am writing this in Canada. Around Toronto where I am staying, the most amazing and beautiful thing is to see the trees in the Fall (Autumn!). The maple trees on the hillsides and in the streets turn deep oranges and reds, the colours of a million different sunsets displayed leaf […]
Blog post: Who are you called to be
Will writes: Dear Friends, Who are you called to be? We are a society of do-ers. We find it easy to know and find our purpose in doing something. Often we ask each other whether we are busy this week. Instantly we want to assure people we are because to not be doing is to not have worth or purpose. […]
Blog post: Empowering Vocation
Andy writes… Dear Friends, We have as one of our values at Ascension EMPOWERING VOCATION. We are committed to helping people discover who Jesus has made them to be and empowering them to play their role in his rescue plan for creation. I am convinced that when people live out their call to join God in blessing his world that […]
Blog post: Summer Holidays
Peter writes: Well, it is August and holiday season is in full swing – whether you are planning a staycation or vacation – it is the time when the church population on a Sunday does, on occasions, feel a tad bit sparse! So, does God take a holiday? Taking time away from all those prayer requests. I have a vision […]
Blog post: Therefore, you are no longer strangers or foreigners but members of Gods household.
Mac writes: Dear Friends ‘Therefore, you are no longer strangers or foreigners but members of Gods household.’ (Eph 2:19) It could be argued that I became a Christian because of a birthday card…. Not one I received, but one I signed. It was my first ever time going to any sort of Christian gathering, a church youth group, and I […]
Blog post: Julian of Norwich, a life lived in communion with God
Nicky writes: Julian of Norwich is known for writing the book ‘Revelations of Divine Love.’ She was a unique and extraordinary individual who experienced visions or prophetic pictures from God. In her own words she describes herself as experiencing ‘the depths of the love of God, who is willing to go to any lengths to be with us’. She had […]
A May letter from Sara
Dear Friends I hope you had a Happy Easter. Now we look forward to the end of the month when we will celebrate the feast of our Lord’s Ascension. In the past maybe it was easier than it is now to live with mystery, with an acknowledgement that there are some things we cannot explain. With mundane things it can […]
An April letter from Andy
Dear Friends, I write this having returned in the last few days from Ascension’s visit to Naminage. A personal highlight was joining other Christians to worship in many diverse settings. We joined the community at St Andrews, Naminage for an All Age service, I also preached in Busoga Diocese Cathedral Church, Bugembe. This was the cathedral founded by the late […]
