Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten Season, which is the six weeks of prayer and reflection leading up to Easter Sunday.  The Christian practice is to “give up” something for Lent as an act of penance and a reminder of the sacrifice that Jesus made for each of us on the cross.  As we continue On The Road to Discipleship With Jesus, each one of us needs to ask ourselves what are the potential road blocks that could side track us on our journey.  Those are what we need to be working on this year as we move through the Lenten Season.  That may involve “giving up” something or it may involve “taking on” something like scripture study or more daily prayer or performing a random act of kindness for each of the 40 days of Lent.   We will also have a daily devotional booklet available for every family.  As is our custom we will begin with an Ash Wednesday service of ashes and healing prayers at 6:00 P.M.  Come join us for dinner starting at 5:15 and worship at 6:00.
