Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of heaven and earth; we give you thanks and praise through Jesus Christ our Lord, who after his glorious resurrection appeared to his
disciples, and in their sight ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us; that where he is, there we might also be, and reign with him in glory. Therefore we praise you with
angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name;
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. (we kneel or sit)
Holy God, source of life and goodness… Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.Recalling his death, proclaiming his resurrection, and looking for his coming again in glory, we offer you, Father, this bread and this cup. Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts, that all who eat and drink at this table may be one body and one holy people, a living sacrifice in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, almighty Father, now and forever. Amen.
Our Father…We break this bread,… to share in the body of Christ.
We, being many, are one body, for we all share in the one bread.O Lamb of God, who takest away the sin of the world: Have mercy upon us (repeat).
O Lamb of God, who takest away the sin of the world: Grant us thy peace.Holy Communion

Those baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are invited to receive His gift to His people: Holy Communion.

Prayer after CommunionGod our Father, you have raised our humanity in Christ and have fed us with the bread of heaven: mercifully grant that, nourished with such spiritual blessings, we may set our hearts in the heavenly places; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.We thank you, Lord, that you have fed us in this sacrament, united us with Christ, and given us a foretaste of the heavenly banquet prepared for all peoples. Amen.
As we wrestle with our church building’s inaccessibility, we pray:Heavenly Father, you caused this building to be built so many years ago. We pray that you would enable us, the people of this your church, to make this a place of blessing for all people. Guide, we beseech thee, the community here to be able to ensure that all are welcome and able to enter into this place of worship, that they and we might gather in your presence to give thanks to you for the gift and blessing of your Son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Reading A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (1.12,13a,14)Then the disciples returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying. They were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.
As we wait in silence, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we listen to your word, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we worship you in majesty, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we long for your refreshing, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we long for your renewing, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we long for your equipping, make us ready for your coming Spirit.As we long for your empowering, make us ready for your coming Spirit.
The BlessingMay the Spirit, who set the Church on fire upon the day of Pentecost, bring the world alive
with the love of the risen Christ. And the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always. Amen.

A COOKBOOK AND A DREAMTHE COOKBOOK - We would like to create a heritage cook book that represents all of us, and includes a variety of recipes that have been prepared and shared by the willing hands of St. Mark’s at potluck meals, community events and bazaars and have gone on to be regularly requested favourites. Shared bytes of local food lore, or tidbits of family history involving the recipe will flavour the narrative when space allows. Please test your recipes to make sure they are complete and correct. Include relevant notes for making or serving the recipe. (The goal is to finish the book for the bazaar & for Christmas gifts) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: *Contact Mary, ([email protected]) Julia ([email protected]) or Alan ([email protected]) if you are interested in helping.*

Introduction Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, for forty days we have been celebrating with joyful hearts the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, his bursting from the tomb and his defeat of the power of sin and death. He appeared to his disciples many times and told them about the kingdom of God.Today we recall how he left this earth and returned to his Father, ascending into heaven to take his throne over all dominions and powers. Trusting in his reign over all creation, and submitting to his kingly yet loving rule, let us hear the story of his parting.
The Ascension Reading A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (1.4-11)While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. ‘This’, he said, ‘is what you have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’ So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’
Alleluia. Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia.Seeing we have a great high priest who has passed through the heaven, Jesus the Son of
God, let us offer him the praise worthy of his name.
GLORIA IN EXCELSISGLORY be to God on high, and in earth peace, good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sin of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
THE COLLECT FOR THE SUNDAY AFTER THE ASCENSIONO GOD the King of Glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven: We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
The First Reading: Ephesians 1:15-23 (page 1142 in the pew Bibles)Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked
in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God
All nations shall come and worship you, O Christ, ♦ and share in the feast of your kingdom.
Great and wonderful are your deeds, ♦ Lord God the Almighty.Just and true are your ways, ♦ O ruler of the nations.
Who shall not revere and praise your name, O Lord? ♦ for you alone are holy.All nations shall come and worship in your presence: ♦ for your just dealings have been
revealed. Revelation 15.3,4
THE GRADUAL HYMN # 645 COME DOWN, O LOVE DIVINEAlleluia, alleluia.
Go and make disciples of all nations, says the Lord. Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. cf Matthew 28.19,20
Alleluia.The Holy Gospel: Luke 24:44-53 (pg 1026 pew Bible) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. The Gospel of Christ. People: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The Sermon – The Rector
The Nicene CreedWe believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one
baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead , and the life of the world to come. Amen.
