Ascension Rewind

Last Thursday we shared a simple evening to celebrate, reflect and focus on the Savior who went up. We paused for a brief moment to sing and recall the significance of the Ascension, and then enjoyed some ice cream floats while releasing many more things up into the sky as a symbolic way to recall the promise that just as some standing by watched Jesus go up, in the same way He will come again!

“When he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” - Acts 1:9–11
