Prayer & Worship Night: Ash Wednesday

For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return. -Genesis 3:19

Followers of Jesus have observed the season of Lent 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 in a different direction. On Ash Wednesday, we turn from the dead-end ways, striving 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.

Start the season of Lent with us by participating in the practice of Ash Wednesday on March 5 at 6:30PM.
