Event Description
For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return. -Genesis 3:19
The season of Lent has been observed by followers of Jesus since the 4th century. Through prayer, fasting, and charity, Lent is an invitation to return to our most basic and enduring identity as Beloved of God.
In the scriptures, ashes are symbols of repentance. To repent means to turn and go in a different direction. On Ash Wednesday, ashes symbolize that we can from the dead-end ways we strive for power, worth, security, and success and return to our identity as Beloved of God. We contemplate and embrace the gift of our finite time on this earth, how we are from dust to dust.
The New Hope Prayer Room will host times to observe Ash Wednesday:
Morning: 7:30AM-9:30AM
Afternoon: 11:30AM-1:30PM
Evening: 5:30PM-8PM
You are welcome to come as an individual, family, or Home Group.
