Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, February 18, worship service at 7:00 pm.

The Season of Lent begins this coming Wednesday with the observance of Ash Wednesday. “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return.” With a solemn call to fasting and repentance and the beginning of our journey to the Easter mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection, we acknowledge the unity we have with all of our ancestors who have preceded us. The sign of ashes suggests our human mortality and frailty… and yet, what seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning, in which we are washed in God's mercy and forgiveness.  After all, the promise of God is that we are baptized not only into Jesus’ death but also into his resurrection (Romans 6:3). We are both/and people, in this season and in all of life.

Plan to begin your Lenten journey by taking part in worship on Ash Wednesday, a rich and deep worship experience not to miss.
