1 St. Peter Worship at Key to Life
Our Ascended Lord reigns! St. Peter Worship at Key to Life Saturday, May 27th

2 Welcome to St. Peter! Christ is ascended! He is ascended indeed! This joyful salutation to celebrate Jesus’ ascension into heaven may sound strange, but Ascension Day is worth celebrating! The official day the Christian Church observes this festival is 40 days after Easter, which falls on May 25th this calendar year. However, at St. Peter, we will observe this great festival in worship this weekend. Every time we say the words of the Apostles’ or Nicene Creed, we confess that Jesus “ascended into heaven.” Do we understand, however, the importance of this phrase? Do we appreciate the significance of Jesus going up into heaven that Thursday forty days after His resurrection? Don’t let Ascension Day be merely a forgotten festival. Celebrate your Lord’s ascension! Celebrate because at His ascension, Jesus is fulfilling part of His work of salvation for you as He goes to prepare a place for you!

3 Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each row. Please take a moment to give us your information so we have a record of your time with us today.

In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, Jesus gives us his true body and blood. We express unity with our Savior and those who share our faith and stand on the teachings of God’s Word. Therefore, we invite to our altar those who are members of our church or the WELS. Visitors and guests who wish to commune are asked to speak to a pastor before the service begins.
