Mennonites observe Ascension Day in many different ways. Some congregations have worship services in the morning, others in the evening, or not at all. Some Mennonites avoid working on Ascension Day, but will take site seeing trips or go visiting friends and relatives. Others work on Ascension Day and do not observe it. The decision on how to observe the day is usually left up to the particular congregation or family.
We celebrate Ascension Day because that was the day Jesus walked out of that tomb to show us that our sins died with Him on the cross.
