Ascension Convention 2009
For 24 years, Ascension Convention has invited young people to gather and celebrate Jesus on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday prior to Easter. Thousands have rejoiced to the music of nationally known artists such as Skillet, Todd Agnew, Shane & Shane, Rich Mullins, and Rush of Fools. Speakers have included Reggie Dabbs, Mark Cahill, Ron Luce, Brent Parsley, and Dave Roever. The Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency O’Hare has been the scene of many individual spiritual dramas, as life-changing decisions take place during the three days. There’s no better place to spend the days leading up to Easter!
