ASH WEDNESDAY
Join us on Wednesday, February 18, at 7:00PM for the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of LENT: a time (40 days) of reflection and penitence leading up to Easter Sunday.
On Ash Wednesday, we offer the opportunity to receive the application (imposition) of ashes upon your forehead. The ashes are a reminder of our mortality and the need for repentance. When the ashes are marked upon the forehead in the sign of the cross, the words of God from Genesis 3:19 spoken to Adam after his sin are spoken to us: "you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
All praise and glory be given to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is through his suffering, death on the cross, and resurrection from the grave we are forgiven and justified.
