Ascension Day Picnic
Join us for a parish picnic at Old Post Park in Russellville. We will gather together to eat, fly kites, pray, and be in fellowship together.
Ascension Day is when the risen Christ is taken into heaven after appearing to his followers for forty days (Acts 1:1-11, Mk 16:19). The Ascension marks the conclusion of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances. It is the final elevation of his human nature to divine glory and the near presence of God. The Ascension is affirmed by the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds. The Ascension is celebrated on Ascension Day, the Thursday that is the fortieth day of the Easter season. It is a principal feast of the church year in the Episcopal Church.
Bring a kite to fly, bubbles, blanket or chair, and an item to share for the picnic. Drinks will be provided by the church

Where: Old Post Park in Russellville, Public Use Area.
