Ascent | Why the Psalms of Ascent? May 14-20
Journeying through the Psalms of Ascent . . .
PSALM 120 - 134
In ancient Israel when travelers made a pilgrimage to the temple, they would sing songs - the Psalms of Ascent. During their journey, these songs filled them with a holy anticipation for the presence of God.
As the Church of Lane County, we are preparing for our own “Ascent” - a week of community worship & prayer. We’ll journey through the same Psalms. We’ll draw close to the Lord together in worship and devotion. And we’ll give ourselves to prayer for our community - that many would come to know Jesus.
Starting Monday, May 14th, we’ll gather for 5 days of morning and evening prayer:
Every day will be hosted at a new church. Each morning and evening gathering will be hosted by a different local pastor, focusing on the next Psalm. Find every location on the flipside, or on our website.
Then on Saturday, May 19th, we’ll climb four high points in Eugene & Springfield to praise from the mountaintops.
And finally, on Sunday, May 20th, we’ll celebrate the goodness of God at Community-Wide Worship. Together, hundreds of us from many traditions and backgrounds, will lift up one voice.
Let your voice be heard in Ascent and Community-Wide Worship.
