Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, leading up to Easter. We welcome all who wish to worship with us on this special occasion.

This service will conclude with the imposition of ashes on the forehead, for all who wish to receive it. Following a period of silent meditation upon the ultimate sacrifice of our Savior’s suffering, death, and resurrection, worshippers are asked to leave the sanctuary quietly.

Worship Theme: As the Season of Lent begins, we confront our spiritual health at the foot of the cross.

Meditation: “The Time Is Out of Joint” — Pastor Benj Giffone
