Today is the Festival of the Ascension of Our Lord. As such, we celebrate tonight with the Divine Service at 7 PM. But please come early and join a fellowship meal starting at 6 PM. You don't have to bring a dish to pass; just come and enjoy the food and fellowship. We hope to see our brothers and sisters in Christ from the congregations in our circuit in SE Kansas. We look forward to seeing you tonight.

Almighty God, as Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ascended into the heavens, so may we also ascend in heart and mind and continually dwell there with Him, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever, Amen.
