ASCENSION DAY SERVICE

for 1 hour
Guestling, St Laurence
Church Lane Guestling Hastings, TN35 4HS, United Kingdom
Forty days after the resurrection, Jesus and His disciples went to Mount Olivet, near Jerusalem. There, Jesus promised His followers that they would soon receive the Holy Spirit, and He instructed them to remain in Jerusalem until the Spirit had come. Then Jesus blessed them, and as He gave the blessing, He began to ascend into heaven. The account of Jesus’ ascension is found in Luke 24:50-51 and Acts 1:9-11.

It is plain from Scripture that Jesus’ ascension was a literal, bodily return to heaven. He rose from the ground gradually and visibly, observed by many intent onlookers. As the disciples strained to catch a last glimpse of Jesus, a cloud hid Him from their view, and two angels appeared and promised Christ’s return "in just the same way that you have watched Him go" (Acts 1:11).

Guestling, St Laurence

A warm welcome to the Parish Church of St. Laurence, Guestling where people have been worshipping God since Saxon times.

We are a traditional Anglican parish and we have the great privilege of meeting together for worship in a fine mediaeval building set in a beautiful corner of East Sussex.

We meet with God in prayer, in reading the Bible and in Holy Communion.

We'd love you to come along and share that experience with us, and we'd be pleased to welcome you. 

All are welcome.
