Sunday 17th May 2026 Text: Acts 1: 6-11 Call to Worship for Ascension Day based on Psalm 68 Sing to God! Sing praises to the One who rides upon the heavens! We rejoice before the Lord, whose name is mighty and glorious.. From the highest heavens, God’s voice resounds in power and majesty. Christ is ascended and reigns in glory over all creation. Proclaim the strength of God, whose power fills heaven and earth. Awesome is God in holiness and splendour! Blessed be God, who gives strength and power to the people. We come to worship the risen and ascended Christ. Alleluia! While often glossed over because the idea of Jesus just disappearing up to the clouds seems a bit weird to our modern ears. It feels more like the stuff of myths and legends. However, it is such a mistake to quickly gloss over this incident in the Easter story. We must not let our modern world view blind us to the core message being communicated, that this ascension story is a key element in the overall Jesus story.
