I just love being a part of the Blessed Sacrament community! There's so much great stuff going on!
ASCENSION DAY
First things first: Today is Ascension Day! Today, we celebrate Jesus rising up into heaven with all his apostles looking on. The gospel of Luke says:
"Then he led them out, raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven. They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy!"
Luke 24:50-52
The apostles saw him return to heaven! Can you imagine? How do you think they felt? Probably really excited, right? Maybe a little sad that their friend was leaving again? But guess what! Jesus promised that he would never leave us alone! He promised to send the HOLY SPIRIT to be with us! Next Sunday is Pentecost, the day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, the day 3000 people were added to the people who already were believers, the birthday of the church!
Thank you, Jesus!!!!

This year's VBS will be entirely outdoors on Assumption's beautiful grounds. We will be following all state and local Covid guidelines and regulations at that time. Space is limited, so register soon!
To keep groups small, it is especially important that we have as many volunteers as possible.

Volunteers can register using the same site as participants.
"The Old Rugged Cross" is my dad's favorite hymn, and a great part of the Rocky Railway playlist this year!
