Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday. To commemorate this important time, we are having a special service on Wednesday, February 14th at 6:30 in the Sanctuary. 

The Ash Wednesday service and the season of Lent are characterized by the suffering of Jesus Christ in the wilderness for 40 days. As such, we are reminded of our mortality, and the sacrifices granted to us by the Father so that we may have eternal life. We are reminded that we came from dust, and we shall return to dust. We are imposed with ashes on our forehead as a reminder. 

After the celebratory time of Shrove Tuesday, Lent is a time of humbled reflection. It's a time to give up that which separates you from the Lord, and to impose limitations on yourself. Join us in this special time.
