Ash Wednesday Service

The Cowan Ministerial Association (CMA) is hosting the Community Ash Wednesday Service at Cowan FBC with Rev. Roger Speer speaking.

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal in the Christian calendar. Ash Wednesday takes place forty days before Resurrection Sunday (excluding Sundays).

With the imposition of ashes, a symbol of our frailty and repentance, we are reminded of the words, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19). Life, in other words, is never guaranteed.

Yet Ash Wednesday is not focused only on sorrow; it is also a call to hope. We place our trust in our lord Jesus Christ, who already overcame death. As we turn our hearts toward Jesus Christ, we embrace His grace and begin a journey of transformation that will make its way to the cross, and then finally the empty tomb, the first fruits of everlasting life.
