GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Ascension Sunday
May 12, 2024
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: The Ascension of Jesus (40 days following His rising from the dead) is significant
as it reiterates the fact peace with God our Creator has been accomplished by what Jesus endured
while on that cross. And now, back in His rightful place, He continues to meet our needs --- pointing
out our sins have been forgiven, working out aspects of life for our good, keeping us on the path to
heaven. Connected to Ascension is the reminder to talk up His name and benefits as often and as to
as many as we can while able to do so. Worship enables us to give thanks to God for all His Truths,
while being built up and building up those with us.

Getting to know Stephen Bautista
Stephen and his family are WELS members who travel around the country for their full-time
Christian music mission. Their goal is to "enlighten the lost and encourage the found" with
Stephen’s original, Christ-centered music. Along with his daughter Marissa, Stephen shares his
music in a very compelling yet soothing style, while conveying a solid Gospel message.
Stephen, his wife, Christy, their nine “road-schooled” children, a dog, and two cats have a home-
base in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, but are more often found visiting congregations around the
country in their Chevy Express van with their 33ft travel trailer in tow.
Stephen has five professionally produced CDs that are available for purchase at his concerts and
worship services. His music is also available online at www.StephenBautistaMusic.com, iTunes,
Amazon, and most other online outlets.
Please consider supporting Stephen's music mission by purchasing his CDs and/or contributing a
freewill offering that will help him continue spreading the Gospel of Jesus with his music.
