Scripture, Tradition, Reason

We recognize the importance of tradition and reason in seeking to understand what it is that Scripture is saying.

We do not put reason or tradition over Scripture since it is the ultimate authority.

Classic Traditional Anglican services: following liturgies from the Book of Common Prayer and the Book of Alternative Services

February 26, 2025

Presentation of our Lord in the Temple

Column

Rosary with a wooden cross next to the Bible

Celebration of the

Holy Eucharist

In-person services:

Sundays

at 8:30 am & 10:30 am

Wednesdays

at 10 am

At our services, you will hear words from the Bible, organ hymns (music) of worship, an engaging teaching (homily) from one of our priests and “liturgy” (a traditional form of Anglican worship).

Please do not be anxious about doing the "right thing" during the liturgy, but simply allow yourself to experience the service, and join in the worship according to your comfort level. You may follow along with the liturgy if you like but you do not have to participate in it if you don’t wish to. You may, without pressure or worry, just sit and observe how our worship service operates.

The Church of the Ascension in Windsor does not online stream church services

The liturgy from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer (Traditional, 19) is used the first and last Sunday of each month at the 10:30 am service. It is also used at each 8:30 am Sunday and 10:00 am Wednesday services.

The liturgy from the Anglican Book of Alternative Services (Contemporary, 1985) is used at the second and third Sunday of each month at the 10:30 am Choral Eucharist.

The ladies Auxiliary from the Church is in need of new members. Since COVID they have lost many of their members. They meet occasionally on Sunday mornings. They have worked gathering items in need for several outreach programs. They have aslo done the Sundae Sunday and teamed up with the BAC to do some of the meals. They understand you may not be able to help out all the time but when you can is vastly appreciated.

Canterbury College is looking for volunteers to help with the Student Dinners. See poster in parish hall for more information.

We are once again looking for volunteers for the following:

Greeters to welcome parishioners

Readers for the scriptures during service

Hosts for coffee hour

If interested please contact the office and let us know how you would like to get involved.
