Welcome to Ascension!

For almost 60 years the Church of the Ascension has served God by reaching out to our neighbors in caring and supportive ways with the love of Christ. We are a community of ordinary people blessed in wisdom, rich in humor, with an abiding affection for each other, working to build a better world. There are no perfect people at the Ascension, and you don’t have to be one either to be part of the Ascension.
Christ comes to all of us just as we are – and gives us the grace not to stay that way. Through worship and service, through laughter and prayer and pastoral care, we help each other grow more and more into the image of Christ.

Easter Prayer

Risen Jesus, thank you for the gift of new life. As spring awakens the earth, awaken our hearts. In this Easter season, lead us into new abundant life in you. Give us sincere faith and trust in your will for our lives. Meet us where we are, and call us forward.
When fear holds us back, give us courage and your peace. Guide our church in Don Mills; make us a clear, steady light in this community.
Send  us out to love, to serve, and to speak hope with confidence. Walk with us this April, Lord, and lead us in your risen life.
Amen.
