Ash Wednesday is our threshold into the season of Lent. With Christians around the world, we follow the ancient practice of wearing dust and ashes on our foreheads, a sign of our mortality, of our human limitations and failings.
We will offer the liturgy for Ash Wednesday and the Imposition of Ashes in our historic Sanctuary at 6:30 PM. There will be lovely music as well. Our liturgy invites us: “Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. … I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.” Let us prayerfully enter this new season - together. Peace be with you, Rev. Andrea
