Our Ash Wednesday services are at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary on Wednesday, March 5.

The Imposition of Ashes will be at both services, and the evening service will include a time of Holy Communion.

What is Ash Wednesday?

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a forty-day season of repentance, fasting, reflection, and, ultimately, celebration of Christ’s resurrection. The 40-day period represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan tempted him. Lent asks believers to set aside a time each year for similar fasting, marking an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.
