5/17/2026 Praise Service
May 17, 2026 • Pastor Paul Warnier
AS WE GATHER It is not over. Easter is not over. Christ’s mission is not over. Peace and pardon are not over. Even as we gather to commemorate the ascension of our Lord, nothing ends today. It is not as if Christ ascends to heaven and takes all His blessings with Him! This world remains forever marked by His grace and love. And now, reigning over all things, our ascended Lord intercedes for us at His Father’s right hand. Christ remains present for us in His Word and Sacraments, and Christ’s Body, the church, continues the joyful proclamation that Christ is risen, and indeed, He is coming again!
