Thank You Letter for The Queen
Anyone wishing to sign a thank you letter to Her Majesty The Queen for her service and devotion to duty on the occasion of her diamond jubilee is warmly invited to pop into the Cathedral between now and 21 May to add their signature before the letter is sent to Buckingham Palace.
The Dean of Derby, Dr John Davies and the Mayor of Derby, Cllr Les Allen, signed the letter in Derby Cathedral on 1st May and look forward to watching the number of signatures grow rapidly.
ASCENSION DAY 2012
In the Church’s year, the period after Easter leads directly towards another festival, Ascension Day. The earliest Christians at Easter sensed Christ risen among them in very vivid and tangible ways. They then, after about 40 days or so, sensed that He had gone from them : He had ascended into Heaven : He had gone to be with God, exalted beyond the things of earth. They rejoiced with hearts and minds looking towards Heaven. These rejoicings are repeated year by year on Ascension Day.
Ascension Day this year falls on Thursday 17th May. There will be two special services of celebration in the Cathedral : A service of Holy Communion at 1.05pm, and a Festival Eucharist, with the Cathedral Choir, at 7.30pm. The Bishop of Derby will preside and preach. All will be very welcome.
