In today’s Gospel, the risen Christ ascends into
heaven and his followers are assured that the Spirit will empower them to be
witnesses throughout the earth. The
disciples were told not to gaze up into heaven to look for Jesus; we find his
presence among us as we proclaim the word and share the Easter feast. We too long for the Spirit to enliven our
faith and invigorate our mission.
Today, Sunday, May 8, we celebrate the Ascension (“Himmelfahrt”) with a service of Holy Communion. The service has
been transferred from this past Thursday.
Today is called Mothers` Day and on this day, we honour all those women
who have taken on the ministry of motherhood, whether for their own children or
for other`s children.
Welcome!
Everyone is
invited to stay for fellowship after the service.
We pray today for all
the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, Bob McCrae,
Ed Stanat and John Weninger. May God
grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ. Amen.
The
carnations which will be handed out today to all ladies, are donated by Diane
Corns in loving memory of her mother, Clara Lautenschlager, and grandmothers,
Ida Lautenschlager and Katherine Wittig.

Fellowship Hall. Everyone has unnumbered

Bible Study - Beginning on Wednesday, May 4 and going for 6 meetings until June 8,
St. John’s and Trinity Anglican will be hosting an adult study of “Jesus’ Life
and Times.” This will be an over-view of
the society Jesus lived in – Judea, Greece, and Rome. Our aim is to help people understand the
groups mentioned in the Gospels as well as the societal, cultural, and
political forces surrounding Jesus’ life and message. As usual, the meetings begin at noon and you
should bring a lunch. The first three
meetings (May 4, 11, & 18) will be held at St. John’s and the final three
at Trinity.
