Feast Day - Ascension Day
The Ascension of Christ marks the occasion on which the risen Christ is taken into heaven after appearing to his followers for forty days. It marks the conclusion of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances. The Ascension is the final elevation of his human nature to divine glory and the near presence of God. Join us at Church of the Redeemer as we celebrate Ascension Day on Thursday, May 30 at 6:00 pm in the nave for a meal, worship, and story-sharing by Mike Firesheets. Mike will share his story of ascending to a nearer presence of God and what it is like for Jesus to open our “minds to understand the scriptures.” (Luke 24:44-53) Childcare and dinner are provided.
