Lent is a period of 40 days, (not including Sundays) when we reflect on the events leading up to the death of Jesus. This year Lent begins on Feb 17, Ash Wednesday.
We will have a special Ash Wednesday service in person and on Zoom, at noon on February 17th. (about 40 minutes). It will include a celebration of the imposition of ashes. Since this service will also be done virtually, we have prepared small packets of ashes that you can use to participate in this reverent celebration in your own home. You may pick them up at the church office or we will be happy to deliver them to you. Just let Linda in the office know your preference.
If you do not wish to attend the service in person, we encourage you to set aside a sacred space in your home as a place of reflection throughout this holy season. The space could be a simple shelf or small table with the ashes and perhaps a candle, the Bible, and a list of prayer concerns for daily consideration, anything that reminds you to take a moment to consider the astonishing depth of love Christ has for you.
We will resume our 8am devotional time on Wednesday 17th, which will meet daily (except Sunday’s) until Easter.
