Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten Season. We will have service at 7pm with the imposition of ashes.  We will not have supper served this year because of Valentine’s Day in case people are going out to eat with loved ones.

Tonight we will practice burning away and releasing that which gets in our way so that we can find the connection with the holy ever more deeply. 

On this eve we will step together over the threshold into the holy season of Lent.  We hope that you will consider joining us as we enter this wilderness time together. 

The Lenten season is a time of self reflection and repentance - turning back to God from where we have wandered off. The Greek word for repentance is metanoia from the root meaning ‘to turn’ and can be understood as movement or change. 

We begin the holy season of Lent with this day of putting ashes on our foreheads to remind us both how transient life is and how precious it is.  It is to be a moment to awaken us once more to the presence of God in our midst and our work to partner and connect with God. 

We hope you will attend.
