Getting Directions and Parking Directions: If you know your way around Parking: Parking is conveniently located in the following places: 1st choice- The Oakland Catholic High School’s parking lot on Neville (next to the large green tiled building) across from Church. 2nd choice- Behind the Shady Oak Apartments on Where Will I Find a Seat? When you first arrive you will find us to be a friendly, welcoming group of people. If you enter from Bring the Kids For our 10:30 a.m. service, we provide fully-staffed childcare for children who are Infant to Kindergarten. You will soon see that we honor children and consider it a privilege to be able to be able to show them how much God loves them through the care and instruction that we provide. Dress Casual or… The first thing you’ll notice about us is that we are by no means strictly a suit and tie church. Sure, some folks feel more comfortable dressing in a more formal manner, and that’s great. But you’ll see people in shorts, sandals, and jeans; you name it, we have it. At Church of the Ascension, we are not concerned with how you dress, we are concerned that you belong. What About Money? For a while, let the collection plate pass you by… We believe that an important part of our worship (as well as our own provision) is joyfully giving to the Church. For your first few visits, however, we invite you to let the plate pass you by and enjoy your stay with us as our gift. Part of the joy of giving for us is knowing that you will receive something this morning without having to worry about anything in return. If you choose to join our Church Family (or become a regular attendee), you can join us in the joy of giving back to God a small part of the time, talent and treasure that He has given us. But, for your first few visits, feel free to let the plate pass you by. What About Communion? Holy Eucharist (also called Communion or the Lord’s Supper) is an integral part of our worship services and is offered to all baptized Christians who have repented of their sins and are in love and a right relationship with God and their neighbors are welcomed to receive Communion. If you don’t want to receive Communion, we still invite you to come forward with the people around you and receive an assurance of God's blessing from one of our priests. Simply cross your arms over your chest to let us know you will not be partaking of the Communion bread and wine.
God is doing great things here at Church of the Ascension, and we hope, after you have spent some time in our midst, that you will come back and worship with us again and again!
