Welcome! Thank you for joining us for worship today. In our services we gather before our almighty God to receive his gifts and to offer him our worship and praise. Through God’s powerful Word and Sacraments he renews our faith and strengthens us to serve in joy.
Jesus’ ascension marked the fact that his work was complete, in one sense. Never again will a sacrifice for sins need to be made. However, Jesus’ ascension also marks that, in another sense, his work is just beginning. Jesus promised to send us his Spirit to give us power from heaven, that we might take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
This year, our celebration of Jesus’ blessings to us from heaven extends to our celebration of 50 years of sharing that Gospel with children and families through Salem Lutheran School. Over these years God has used our teachers, staff, members, and ministry to shine the light of Jesus to hundreds. May he bless us as fully and fruitfully in years to come.
