The four great festivals of the church year include Christmas, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost. Sadly the latter two have fallen from the radar of many. All celebrate the life and victory won by Jesus for us. Because Ascension falls on a Thursday (40 days after Easter) it is easily forgotten. Yet it is as important to our lives as Christians as Christmas and Easter. Ascension focuses our attention upward - toward heaven and our eternal home. It reminds us that Jesus will return to take us there. We need Ascension to help us from being distracted by the less important things of this world and this life. On Ascension Day (May 26 we are invited to a special service celebrating Jesus' Ascension and rule where he intercedes for us at God's right hand. The service is at 6:30 at Crown of Life, West St. Paulat 115 Crusader Ave W.
