Join us tonight, Feb. 18, at 6 p.m. for our Ash Wednesday service. Everyone is welcome as we gather to mark the beginning of Lent, which prepares our path to Easter. Come as you are!

An Ash Wednesday prayer:
O God, maker of every thing and judge of all that you have made, from the dust of the earth you have formed us and from the dust of the earth you would raise us up. By the redemptive power of the cross, create in us clean hearts and put within us a new spirit, that we may repent of our sins and lead lives worthy of your calling, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
