Annual Christmas Bazaar

Welcome to Church of the Ascension

Through the example of Jesus, we see that our calling as children of God is fulfilled in serving others. In this way each of us cultivates a sense of discipleship in our lives and demonstrates the love of God for others to see.

The Reverend Canon Lance Smith

Rector at The Church of The Ascension

During the Covid19 Pandemic, Canon Lance partnered with Cogeco to produce a weekly devotional program entitled "Reflection."

COGECO "YourTV Windsor"

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

October 25, 2026

Column

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 liturgy from the Canadian Anglican Book of Common Prayer (Traditional 1962 version) is used the first and last Sunday of each month at both liturgies. It is also used at each 10:00 am Wednesday service.

The liturgy from the Canadian Anglican Book of Alternative Services (Contemporary 1985 version) is used on the second and third Sunday of each month at both liturgies.
