From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Ready to lead worship last Sunday
Dear Friends,
Our Sunday Eucharist this week will again be at 6 p.m. Thai time. (Midday in the UK, 1 p.m. in Europe, and 7 a.m. on the US East Coast.) Last week, Mark, Gene, and I, were in the church (with Christa who did the technical bit), and readers from around the world took part on Zoom, as did the rest of the congregation.
Use this link to join this Sunday at 6 p.m.
Meeting ID: 548 801 501
This Sunday is Ascension Sunday and Mark will be preaching to us as I lead the worship.
What does the Ascension mean to you? Anything? Or is it just an odd passage at the end of the Gospels and the beginning of Acts? The Ascension tells us that Jesus is with us for ever! He didn’t just rise from the dead but later die again as Lazarus did. Instead he is both at God’s right hand interceding for us, and with us in the world as we live our daily lives.
This is Good News too!
Our scripture readings for the Ascension Sunday will be Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53, and we will be singing the hymns Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise, At the Name of Jesus, Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart, and Christ Be Our Light!
The liturgy can be downloaded here!
Although we can’t be together in person, we still share the good news that Christ is risen and that God’s love for us, and the world, never ends!
Last week’s service is available here!
People to Pray for…
Please continue to pray for Bill Moeller and Warren Funnell.
Also, please pray for those older people in our congregation who are feeling shut-in and isolated as they stay home because of the increase in Covid-19 in Chiang Mai.
