God’s Name is holy among us. From the prelude music through the words of today’s public order of service, in hymns, and especially through the proclaimed Bible readings for the day, God is continually sanctifying His Name among us.

The Feast of the Asension is a celebration of Jesus’ ascension into the heavens, and His return to the Father in glory.

As we await Jesus’ glorified, bodily, and visible return from the heavens, we pray that Jesus’ continued presence in Word and Sacrament continually dwells in our hearts and minds….For more, click on the title above.

The promise of the Comforter
Many of you heard this past Sunday that that was the day the Church Year readings remind us to sing a new song. That theme is meant to be carried through this week.

Having been delivered from sadness, God grants the joy that may continue in the faithful no matter what life in this world may bring upon the Church and her members. …For more, click on the title above.
