of the Parish Church of St John the Baptist. The other views are of the glorious sky from Epping Town.
The photographs were taken by my friend Sue Carter, a member of the Congregation.
Glory be to God the Father,
glory be to God the Son,
dying, risen, ascending for us,
who the heavenly realm has won;
glory to the Holy Spirit,
to One God in persons Three;
glory both in earth and heaven,
glory, endless glory, be.
[from the hymn : See the conqueror mounts in triumph,
by Bishop Christopher Wordsworth – nephew of William & Dorothy. ]
Ascension.
Ascension means a
God-like view of things,
Rising above our usual
limitations.
Rise, then, and know
The glory of life
Set free from fear.
