Happy Endings
By: Pastor Voigt
Ascension is a time of happy endings. Jesus concludes His earthly ministry and returns to the Father's right hand. He sends His disciples to share the Gospel message "to the ends of the earth." Today that mission continues as we are called to be His witnesses and proclaim the message of life and salvation in Jesus Christ.

Nothing, not a coronavirus pandemic, not even death, can separate us from God's love.
