*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison)
Patient God, it hasn’t been easy for us to be apostles or witness to your love. We get caught in traps of anger, Slide16
impatience, and fear. Our words and spirits become cynical and jaded. Yet, at all times, you are with us, guiding and guarding us.Slide17
On this day in which we celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven, we are reminded that we are not being left without guidance.Slide18
The promise of the Holy Spirit is given, and in that promise, we have hope and courage to become true disciples.Slide19
Forgive us when we forget that! Forgive us when we act as though you didn’t care about us or about this world. We are called to be those who live the faith of hope
and reconciliation,Slide20
of courage and understanding. Lift us up when we have fallen, guide our hearts when we speak, for it is in the name of our risen Savior Jesus that we ask these things.Slide21
(silence is observed for reflection and prayer)Slide22
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
L: May God give
you a spirit of
wisdom so that
the power of
Jesus Christ may
be visible in your
life. Know you are
forgiven this day.Slide23
P: By the grace
of Jesus
Christ we are
forgiven and
empowered to
serve. Amen!Slide24

PROCLAIMING THE WORD
SCRIPTURE READING:
Ephesians 1:15-23Slide27
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love
toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God ofour Lord Jesus
Christ,Slide28
the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has
called you,Slide29
what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.Slide30
God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above
every name thatis named,Slide31
not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has
put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.Slide32
SCRIPTURE READING:
Acts 1:1-11Slide33
In the first book,
Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles
whom he had
chosen.Slide34
After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. Slide35
While staying with them, he
ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. ‘This,’ he said, ‘is what you have heard from me; for John baptized with water,Slide36
but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’ So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’Slide37
He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses inJerusalem, Slide38
in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing
up toward
heaven,Slide39
suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up
toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come inthe same way as
you saw him
go into heaven.’Slide40
L: This is the Word of the Lord.
P: Thanks be to God!Slide41
“Apostles”Rev. Tedd PullanoSlide42
Verse 3:(Jesus) appearing to them during forty days and

you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Slide44
