*UPCOMING THIS SUNDAY (6/1) –

• ASCENSION SUNDAY: 40 days have passed since Easter Sunday, and the early church fathers have celebrated the 40th day – which is today (Thursday [5/29]) as Ascension Thursday, when Jesus ascended back up to heaven. We will hold a time this Sunday to remember Jesus who not only descended from the heights of heaven, but also ascended back up into the glories of heaven after His death and resurrection, where He sits at the right hand of the Father, reigning in all glory, until all His enemies are put under His feet, who will take us home to be with Him on glory, Amen? Amen.
