For many, Ascension Day will go relatively unnoticed. Forty days after Easter is just another Thursday with many of us in our ordinary weekday routines. The event it celebrates, however, is an important episode in the life of Jesus, the church, and all creation. Ascension Thursday celebrates and observes when Jesus ascended to heaven and took his rightful throne as Lord over all creation–think the inauguration of a president or coronation day of a king. It’s a big deal. Ascension day reminds us that, though things may often feel out of control in this world, Jesus is Lord and he is busily at work redeeming all things. The Ascension reminds us of the hope we have in our lives and the Lord we follow as Kingdom People.
Wellspring will be celebrating Jesus’ ascension with an exciting night of Worship on Thursday, May 18th starting at 7:00pm. Come ready for a night of praise and celebration of the hope we have in Jesus our Lord.
