Church of The Ascension

Worship at The Ascension is firmly Anglican, in the modern catholic tradition, and liberal in its theology. We are traditional in that we have vestments. and incense at our main sung service.  

     Our main Sunday services are:-     

      8.45am Said Morning Prayer

      9.00am Said Holy Communion (quieter service in the Chapel of Our Lady and St Hugh)    

     10.15am Sung Mass with sermon ( small children are not a problem - and parents often use the Lady Chapel for part of the service,     where there are toys and books)

Approximately once a month there is the Family Service - this is usually just 1/2 hour, easy-going and child-friendly.You will be very welcome, whether or not you are familiar with church. NOTE  you don't have to have kids to come!!   coming dates -Palm Sunday 28th March at 12 noon, April 25th at 12 noon.

Baptisms (Christenings) are often held at the 10.15 am service, the service being altered accordingly, but they can be arranged separately, and generally this is at 12 noon on Sunday.

The midweek services are :-  

    10.00am on Thursday - said Morning Prayer

    10.15am on Thursday - said Mass

During Holy Week there are services each evening, and special evening masses are celebrated on some feast days.
