Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, reminding us of our mortality and calling us to repent. The ancient practice of imposing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful is what gives Ash Wednesday its name. The church father Tertullian (c. A.D. 160-215) writes of the practice as a public expression of repentance and of our human frailty that stands in need of Christ.

Everyone is welcome to join us for a brief Ash Wednesday devotion and the imposition of ashes, where one of our pastors will place an ash cross on your forehead as a sign of faith and reflection.

We invite you to begin this Lenten journey with us.
