This past Sunday, the Christian calendar marked the Ascension of the Lord (I know, it was really on May 21, but I’m a part of a protestant church that doesn’t go to worship services throughout the week, so we celebrated it on the Sunday). This weekend was also Memorial Day weekend in which people in the US remember those soldiers and sailors who died while in military service. I wonder how many congregations in the US made some mention or had some special moment in the service for Memorial Day this past Sunday, but did not mention or did not observe the Ascension?
