THIS SUNDAY

May 17, 2026 - Senior Sunday

Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 & 11:00 am Traditional Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:15 am Modern Worship

 

Scripture is full of upward gestures toward the divine: smoke from the altar curling heavenward, Moses climbing Sinai, Elijah swept into the sky in fire and wind. Each one reaching toward God. But the Ascension of Christ is something different — not a reaching up, but a going ahead. This week, we consider what it means that Jesus did not simply leave, but ascended as our advocate, carrying our humanity with him into the presence of the Father. And we sit with the question his disciples faced at the foot of that hill: now that he is gone, what are we supposed to do with everything he showed us on the way down? See you Sunday for Worship.
