Ascension Lutheran Church - Citrus Heights, CA

Most adults I know aren't looking for a religion that answers all of their questions, but rather a community of faith in which they feel safe to ask them.

What's the most of any one thing that you've seen in a church fridge? How about the scariest or oldest or furriest?

One more sleep until Trivia Night, friends! Will you be competing for the coveted Golden Goblet trophy? Come with your team of up to 6 people, and if you don't have a team, we'll match you up with other folks! See y'all there!

God doesn't want us to prove His existence. God wants us to believe in God's existence and to believe in the power of God's love.

If you recently received a text from a 302 area code where “Pr. Scott” asked you to help run errands ... the real Pr. Scott didn’t text you. Go ahead and block that number - make sure that you’re not blocking the real Pr. Scott - and report it for phishing if you’re able.

Each Wednesday at 7 am, we’ll bring you a highlight from this week's Hump Day Hallelujah. This week, Pr. Scott talks about being the presence of God in someone's life.

We hear about being gathered with the saints.

#AscensionCitrusHeights

O God, our eternal redeemer, by the presence of your Spirit you renew and direct our hearts. Keep always in our mind the end of all things and the day of judgment. Inspire us for a holy life here, and bring us to the joy of the resurrection, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.

Thank you to our veterans!

I'd rather have a church filled with noisy kids than empty pews filled with silence.

It's National Nachos Day! Are you a fan of nachos? I really miss the nachos from Speedgoat in Laramie - loaded with pico, pulled pork, queso, and green chili. What are your favorite nacho toppings? Let us know in the comments!

While acknowledging each of our sinfulness, what if we sought to see the saintliness in one another?

A Hump Day Hallelu for Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Each Wednesday at 7 am, we’ll bring you a highlight from this week's Hump Day Hallelujah. This week, Pr. Scott talks about imperfections.

#humpdayhallelujah #AscensionCitrusHeights

Holy God, your Spirit came upon us in the waters of baptism and brought us into
the communion of saints. Renew in us the grace of baptism, by which we share in Christ’s death and resurrection. Amen.

#AscensionCitrusHeights

Almighty God, you have knit your people together in one communion in the mystical body of your Son. Grant us grace to follow your blessed saints in lives of faith and to know the inexpressible joy you have prepared for those who love you, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
