Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 1:15-23 | Forty days after the resurrection of Jesus, the church celebrates the ascension of our Lord. Though this is often perceived as Jesus “leaving us,” quite the opposite is transpiring in this event. Jesus, in his ascension, is passing off the baton to us, to be his risen body in the world and to witness to all that we have seen and heard. How do we do that? And by what power? Join us for worship as we give our praise to Jesus, our Lord who reigns over all things, and as we wait for power to come upon us, filling us with all that we need to carry Christ’s banner forward.
