Dear Family & Friends,,

Your Mother said get your butt to Church!!!

This Sunday, we give thanks to God for the mothers, grandmothers, and all those who have played motherly roles in our lives. We ask God to bless them All every day, not just on Mother's Day. We also remember our mothers, grandmothers, and loved ones who are no longer here on earth with us. May we feel their love every day in our hearts and minds.

This past Thursday, Christians celebrated the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. Different religious organizations put different significance on the ascension of Jesus. This Sunday, we will look at what the ascension of Jesus Christ means in our everyday lives. Why isn't the ascension as big of a deal as Christmas and Easter? Should it be? We will rediscover the great blessing of Jesus as our advocate, sitting at the right hand of our God on his heavenly throne.

Please take a moment to scroll down and see some of the happenings at Milwaukee Metropolitan Community Church. Whether we see you every Sunday or it's been a while, I invite you to worship with us at 11:00 AM on Sunday. Like I said, your Mother said, get your butt to Church!

With warmest regards and blessings,

Acts 1: 1 — 11

In my earlier account Theophilus I dealt with everything that Jesus had done and taught, from the beginning until the day he was taken up, after he had given instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. After the Passion, Jesus appeared alive to the apostles—confirmed through many convincing proofs—over the course of forty days and spoke to them about the reign of God.

On one occasion, Jesus told them not to leave Jerusalem. “Wait, rather, for what God has promised, of which you have heard me speak,” Jesus said. “John baptized with water, but within a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 

While meeting together they asked, “Has the time come, Rabbi? Are you going to restore sovereignty to Israel?” 

Jesus replied, “It’s not for you to know times or dates that Abba God has decided. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; then you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.” 

Having said this, Jesus was lifted up in a cloud before their eyes and taken from their sight. They were still gazing up into the heavens when two messengers dressed in white stood beside them. “You Galileans—why are you standing here looking up at the skies?” they asked. “Jesus, who has been taken from you—this same Jesus will return, in the same way you watched him go into heaven.”
