Ascension is named for the festival that commemorates the day Jesus returned to His Father in heaven. It was the nearest celebration to the day our congregation was organized. The ascension of Jesus is especially comforting to us since our Lord is: preparing a place for us, speaking for us to the Father, cares for us with His full divine power, sends Spirt-filled people to speak the Good News of sins forgiven, and is preparing to take all believers to be with Him on the Last Day.
