Ascension Observed Next Sunday (5/29)

This year we will observe the Ascension of Our Lord next Sunday, May 29, during our regular worship service (9:30am). Acts 1:3 tells us that Jesus appeared to his disciples “over a period of forty days” after his resurrection; thus, the Christian Church commemorates the Festival of the Ascension of Our Lord on the sixth Thursday after Easter (the 40th day after Easter). The truth of Jesus’ ascension is a great comfort for us, because it assures us that Jesus’ work of saving us is complete and has been accepted by God the Father, and that Jesus is now reigning over all things for our eternal good, and is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. In order to enable more of our members to hear and celebrate these comforting truths, we will observe the Ascension of Our Lord this year in our worship service on the following Sunday (5/29) rather than on Thursday. Please join us next Sunday to celebrate all that Jesus’ ascension means for us!
