The Journey of Lent Begins Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday begins a 40-day journey of reflection, repentance, and renewal that culminates in the joy of Christ's resurrection.  Begin your Lenten journey with us at 7:00 p.m. on February 18 for a service that includes the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.

The service will focus on the Gospel of Matthew 6: 1-6, 16-21.  Dust you are, and to dust you shall return.  It sounds daunting.  Yet we see again and again how new life can and is breathed into that is dry, dead, and seemingly incapable of renewing itself.  Lent is the time for acknowledging the reality of death, and yet being reminded in the core of our being that resurrection is what follows.

All are welcome.
