Ash Wednesday Service & Supper

On Ash Wednesday, February 18th, we will celebrate with a meal and worship together. We will gather at 6:30pm in Ebenezer Gay Room for a potluck soup dinner and then transition to our Ash Wednesday service.
Ash Wed begins our journey through Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. And like any well-prepared traveler, we confess that we want to pack our bags to make sure we are comfortable for our 6-week journey.

But Ash Wednesday is about leaving baggage behind and braving the unknown carrying nothing but the mark of God’s beloved. In this vulnerable place, we confess that we want to be surrounded by all of the things that make us feel better about ourselves, including things we think that God needs in order to love us. And yet God whispers to us that we are made in the divine image and that faithfulness to that knowledge is all we need for the journey of life.

Let us ponder what it is that we may let go of this Lent, in order to help us hear more clearly the stories of Jesus’ extravagant love for all, and to follow him more bravely and confidently.
