Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent — a season of reflection, honesty, and hope.
On this day, we gather to remember that we are human: finite, beloved, and held by grace. We receive ashes as a sign of truth — not to shame us, but to remind us that God meets us exactly as we are.
You’re invited to join us for one of two opportunities:
🕯 12:00 pm — Ashes & Silent Prayer
A quiet, come-and-go space for prayer and the imposition of ashes.
🕊 6:30 pm — Worship with Communion
A spoken, contemplative service with Scripture, prayer, ashes, and the sharing of the meal.
You don’t need to know what to do.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You are welcome — exactly as you are. #trinitygalesburg #lutheran #elca #lent #prayer #worship #ash #dust #AshWednesday
