Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent, a forty-day journey of prayer, repentance and renewal as we prepare for Easter. In worship, we acknowledge both our human frailty and our dependence upon God's abundant grace.

The service includes the imposition of ashes, traditionally marked on the forehead in the shape of a cross, accompanied by the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” This ancient practice reminds us of our mortality, our need for reconciliation and the promise that our lives belong to God.

All are welcome to begin the Lenten journey with us.
