Who we are
At Ascension, we are Lutheran Christians: we are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. "Evangelical" means gospel, good news. We never tire of proclaiming that the news of Jesus Christ is just that, GOOD news.
Lutherans described themselves as evangelical in those terms from the very beginning of our history in the early 1500s in Germany. For us, the good news is that God in Christ Jesus has done all that is necessary to save us. We respond to that good news in faith. Faith is trust in the person of Christ who has saved us, as Luther wrote, "with his holy and precious blood and his innocent suffering and death."
Finally, we are the Church. Lutheranism began as a reform movement within the Roman Catholic Church. We continue to value the ancient church's worship practices, especially the Eucharist, Holy Communion, in which we gratefully receive Christ's body and blood in the consecrated bread and wine for the forgiveness of our sins, new life and salvation.
Even though the Church is divided into many different groups and denominations, we strive for unity among all Christians, that all of Jesus' disciples may be one, as he prayed for us to be.
So that is who we are: Ascension Lutheran Church. We invite you to join us for worship and introduce yourself to us!
The peace of the risen and ascended but still ever-present Christ be with you always.

Sunday Schedule

Ash Wednesday (Feb. 10) and Wednesdays of Lent (Feb. 17, 24, Mar. 2, 9, 16)
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent with prayer, scripture, and the imposition of ashes (a sooty cross marked on one's forehead).

Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
