Ash Wednesday begins the forty days of preparation and self-examination of Lent, as we move toward the cross and empty grave. On Ash Wednesday, we are like Isaiah, seeing who we are in light of God’s majesty: We are mortal, frail, and dependant. We examine ourselves, allowing God’s holy light to reveal our sin, leading us to come in repentance before God. We can be honest about our frailty, about the temptations and weaknesses we face in this life. Ash Wednesday is also about recognizing the God who saved us from sin and death. Jesus stared death in the face, and won. So, with Christ Jesus, we too can stare death in the face, and enter into the fullness of life that will not end when our mortal bodies die.
We hope that you will worship with us today:
