Ascension Day is always forty days after Easter (thus always a Thursday) and is one of the seven principal feast days of the Church. As we have done with other holy day services, we will worship with the people of Grace Episcopal Church and Saint Augustine of Hippo Episcopal Church. This year, Grace Episcopal will host the worship service, it will begin at 6:00 p.m.

Eaton Hall
Free events
Save the dates for this summer's parish-wide Sunday VBS celebrations.
The theme for this year's Vacation Bible School is "Christmas Unwrapped!" When Christmas comes around, we are all so busy with parties, shopping, and family, that we can miss the good news of great joy. This summer during VBS, there will be opportunities for our entire parish to grow together and learn about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and what that means for our daily lives.
Held on four consecutive Sundays in June and July for the whole family, attend one or all of the sessions. VBS will begin in children's chapel during the 10:30 service, followed by lunch in Eaton Hall for everyone attending immediately following the service. The second half will include a bible study and exploration of our favorite Christmas carols for the adults and then music, crafts, games and more for the kids! VBS will end at 1:15 each Sunday.
VBS is free and open to everyone.
At least one adult per family must attend and participate in VBS. (No drop offs.)
| Please use VBS Sign-up to signal your intent to attend. This will help us prepare for appropriate supplies for VBS. | |

Wednesday, June 12
6:00 p.m.
St. Thomas the Apostle
Episcopal Church - Nassau Bay
July 29, 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Episcopal church, an ordination that many of us have come to take for granted, but that was extremely controversial within and the without the church. This moving documentary tells the story of the first 11 women ordinands, their consideration by the larger church and within their home dioceses, their legacy, their love of God and the sacraments, and offers and inspiring celebration of perseverance, discernment, and equality. Bring a friend to this open event and expect nibbles, beverages, and a lovely panel discussion by some of the Philadelphia 11 after the film.
