This Sunday, we will conclude our celebration of Eastertide and the joy of the resurrection as we mark the ascension of Christ, as described in Luke's gospel. It's an interesting story, where Christ commissions his disciples to go out and preach the Good News, then tells them to stay in Jerusalem until they receive the power promised to them. How must the disciples have felt during that in-between time? And how does that relate to our experience now as a congregation, in an in-between time? Rev. Diane will be preaching, after an unexpectedly long break since Easter Sunday. You may want to read Luke 24: 44-53 in preparation. See you Sunday, in person or online.
