ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
Ash Wednesday is the 40-day season leading up to Easter where we reflect on scripture, the story of Jesus’ last week before the crucifixion, and our own sinfulness and mortality. We are invited to repent and turn our thoughts back to Christ, releasing our old way of life, and embracing a new life that embodies Jesus and all of his teachings. Join us March 6th at 6:00pm to begin this season in prayer and reflection as we receive the sign of the cross on our foreheads.
