7 pm ASH WEDNESDAY WORSHIP SERVICE

Ash Wednesday begins the 40 days of the season of Lent. Lent is a time of preparation for the joy of Easter. On Ash Wednesday human mortality is underscored (literally). During the Ash Wednesday service there is the opportunity for ashes to be placed on our foreheads as a reminder of our mortality, our flesh. [ . . . you are dust and to dust you shall return . . . Genesis 3:19] But it also points to the one who created us, and thus the service becomes a pronouncement of hope and grace. Reverend Jenny Shultz preaching. Music: Youth Choir and Chancel Choir
