Ash Wednesday Services

Ash Wednesday3 (610x351)The first service of Lent is Ash Wednesday.  This year, our Ash Wednesday Services will be on Wednesday, March 5th, at 1:00 and 7:00 PM.

Ash Wednesday begins the 40-day season of Lent.  It is a season when God’s baptized people cleanse their hearts through the Lenten disciplines of repentance, prayer, fasting, and charitable giving.  It’s a time we set aside for God to renew ours zeal in faith and life.  It’s also a time when we pray that we may be given the fullness of grace that belongs to the children of God.

And, of course, Lent is the season through which we prepare for the Paschal Feast of Easter.
