Ash Wednesday Service
We invite you to begin the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday worship service in the sanctuary. Lent is not about rushing ahead or checking spiritual boxes; it is a season of slowing down, paying attention, and returning to what matters most.
During the service, the imposition of ashes will remind us not only of our mortality, but also of God’s mercy—steady, patient, and present, even when life feels disrupted. This service offers a meaningful opportunity for reflection, prayer, and grounding as we enter the Lenten journey together.
