You’re invited to begin the season of Lent at our Ash Wednesday Service. As Israel prepared 40 years to enter the promised land, and Jesus fasted 40 days in the wilderness to prepare for his ministry, Lent is 40 day time of reflection to help us prepare for Easter. We start the Lenten season by wearing ashes as a symbol of the dust of the earth, from which we were created, and to which our bodies will return. We remember our mortality, and that there is one God, and it’s not us. I view Lent and Ash Wednesday as precious gifts. The celebration of Easter will be that much more meaningful if we have prepared.
Please come worship with us! If you are not able to attend, at service you can stream the service by clicking the link below.
