Announcements for the week of May 14^th to May 20^th

Why Did Jesus Leave?

Next weekend we remember Jesus returning to heaven as we celebrate Ascension Sunday.

But why did the risen Savior leave His disciples? And what does his Ascension mean for our lives 2,000 years later?

We’ll look at those questions next week-end as we mark the Ascension of Our Lord. “Gone for Good?” will be the sermon, based on Luke 24:44-53.

Reading the text beforehand can help you prepare. See you next weekend!

Galilee Lutheran Church is located two miles east of where Maryland Route 100 merges into Mountain Road . Simply head toward the Chesapeake (follow the signs towards Gibson Island ). Halfway to Downs Park , you'll see us on the left side of the road, nestled in the woods. We'd love to offer you Christian hospitality and service in the name of our risen Savior and Lord, Jesus. May He guide you! ~ Pastor Hank Simon
