Ash Wednesday

LENT BEGINS

"...for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Genesis 3:19

Lent is a gift not a requirement. It's a time to prepare our hearts so we don’t rush into Easter in an unthoughtful way. It's a season to slow down and create space. Join us for our Ash Wednesday services to mark the start of the Lenten season.

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of ash being placed in the shape of the cross on the participant’s forehead (in our Ash Wednesday services in the past we have placed it on wrist), as the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” are spoken. This vivid imagery represents the heart behind the service and entire season of Lent: We are sinners, life is short, and we desperately need gospel grace.

We hope you will join us for a time of worship, prayer, silent reflection, and confession.

All ages are welcome!

Please note: There is no childcare for these services. Activity sheets will be available for all children.
