Conservative Lutherans distinguish their confession from that of the liberals by having a service on one of the high holy days of the Church Year - Ascension. When holidays were still holy days, Ascension Day was observed with solemn church services and a cessation of all other activities.
Ours will be at 6:30 Arizona time, allowing the West Coasters to get home from work while making sure Eastern Liberal time is not too late for the other half. Sad to say, Shrinker apostates, we have regular attendance from both coasts and the Midwest as well. Isn't it sad that someone can have a mission operating without huge grants and a pricey executive assistant?
Doubtless every single Church and Change congregation--claiming they talk about Jesus all the time--will also observe Ascension Day, just as they observe Lent.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
