All are welcome to celebrate with us at the Cathedral as we commemorate Jesus' ascension into heaven. We will be joined by our friends from Holy Trinity Church, Coventry. The Reverend Richard Hibbert will be preaching, and the Cathedral choir will join with the choir from Holy Trinity in songs of worship of our risen Lord.
Jesus has spent the forty days following his resurrection helping his friends believe that he has risen from the dead and that life for them, and for us who have followed them, is now transformed; that as we share in Jesus’ death, so we will share in his resurrection.
Now, his work on earth completed, Jesus takes up his place in heaven at the right hand of the Father. There, we believe, he prays for us as we continue the work he has entrusted to us. And so, even as we worship our risen, ascended King, we pray for the renewal of our calling to grow Christ’s kingdom here on earth, and wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who will enable all that we are called to be.
