NOTE: Charting The Course and illustrations are provided for both Ascension Day/Sunday and Easter 7. Clergy may choose which material to use on Sunday, May 15.
A cluster of parishes in northern California marks ascension each year by meeting together for worship and then serving homemade pie and coffee afterward. The celebration is jokingly termed by some the pie-in-the-sky feast day! It is indeed an apt description of a festival of the Christ faith which contains elements that seem almost too simple to be true and yet points to realities that cannot be denied.
