The season of Lent begins with a sacred invitation — an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to return our hearts to God. I warmly invite you to gather for our Ash Wednesday service 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18, at Pine Grove United Methodist Church, 53 Pine Grove Road, Spruce Pine, NC.

This service is a shared time of worship for the congregations of Elk Park United Methodist Church, Newland United Methodist Church, and Pine Grove United Methodist Church. It is a meaningful opportunity for us to unite as one body in Christ, seeking renewal and recommitting ourselves to the journey of faith.

During the service, we will experience prayer, scripture, quiet reflection, and the imposition of ashes — the ancient sign that reminds us of both our humanity and God’s redeeming grace. Ash Wednesday calls us to honesty about our lives, trust in God’s mercy, and hope in the promise of resurrection.

Whether Lent is a familiar rhythm for you or a new step in your spiritual walk, this service offers space to begin again — grounded in grace, surrounded by community, and anchored in Christ.

We hope you will make plans to join us and invite a friend to come with you.
