Grace and
peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to
the Episcopal Church of the Ascension on the web! Wherever you
are in your life with God, whether a hesitant searcher or a long-time
churchgoer, we invite you to think of Ascension as your spiritual
home.
Founded in 1958,
the Episcopal Church of the Ascension is a parish of the Episcopal
Diocese of Dallas, and therefore, part of the worldwide Anglican
Communion. We worship according to the Book of Common Prayer.
We are a Eucharistically centered body (meaning that our primary
service of worship is the Holy Eucharist, or the Lord's Supper).
We study God's word, the Holy Scripture, and we preach Christ
and him crucified.
The Eucharist is
celebrated on Sunday mornings at 8:00am and 10:00am. Additionally,
on Wednesday at 6:00pm, we offer a healing service with Holy Eucharist.
After each Sunday service there is a coffee hour in the parish
hall, located across the narthex from the nave. So, if you live
in the area or are visiting, please come join us! To help us get
to know you, please introduce yourself to the Rector or an usher
after the service.
Please feel free
to explore our web site, describing our various ministries. We
hope to have the opportunity to greet you in person.
May the peace and
love of Christ rule our hearts.
The Rev'd Kathryn McCrossen Ryan
