The Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ

for 1 hour
St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe
Main Road Barholm Stamford, PE9 4RA, United Kingdom

We have at St Martin’s, Barholm with Stowe limited occasions to celebrate Holy Communion together in our church building.
Usually, this opportunity is only when there is a fifth Sunday in the month.

The exception to this is on Thursday May 29th at 7pm when, we will celebrate Holy Communion together for:

The Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Ascension Day is the 40th day of Easter, it occurs 39 days after Easter Sunday and is one of the earliest Christian festivals dating back to 68AD.

We read in the New Testament that Jesus Christ met several times with His disciples during the 40 days after His resurrection to instruct them on how to carry out His teachings.

On the day of His ascension, Jesus commissions His disciples to continue His work. He promises the gift of the Holy Spirit, and then He is no longer among them in the flesh. The Ascension is therefore closely connected with the theme of mission.

This season of joy and brightness is represented in our use of white or gold liturgical decorations and vestments.

Incense will be used during this service.

St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe

Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking an interest in the Church of St Martin of Tours, Barholm-with-Stowe.

Our next service in St Martin's will be when Fr Aran leads us in our service of Evening Prayer (BCP) at 6pm on Sunday August 3rd, 2025, when we join together listening to scripture, which is the heart of Evening Prayer and singing four well known and traditional hymns. You will be warmly welcomed at the door by Tricia or Colin and given a simple Order of Service booklet and Hymn Book to follow.

We will follow Seasonal Scripture Readings from regular members of the congregation, this month it's Barry & Jane Hodgson, two churchwardens from the church of St Lawrence of Rome at Tallington who often join our regular congregation taking the lessons and Tricia leading the responsorial psalm.

Please remember, ANYONE is very welcome to read in church and if any help/guidance is needed please speak with me or Fr Aran directly.

We will join in the singing of four well known, traditional hymns accompanied at the Organ by Julia.

With love, and hope to see you soon,
