Ascension Day has so many amazing hymns (due to the theme of Christ the King) that we get to spread them out over two big days!
This Thursday at 6pm come to Good Shepherd for Sung Mass. The Reverend Kathleen Liles, rector of Christ & St Stephen’s Church in NYC will be our preacher. The service is followed by our annual steak (porterhouse!) and wine dinner!
Come back Sunday for more great hymns on the Seventh Sunday of Easter!
