Join us at First Congregational Church of Waterloo as we begin the season of Lent with our Ash Wednesday service.
🕕 6:00 PM – Potluck Meal
Come early and gather around the table for a simple potluck-style meal. Bring a dish to share if you’re able, and enjoy time to reconnect with one another as we enter this sacred season together.
🕖 7:00 PM – Ash Wednesday Worship
Our service will include prayer, Scripture, reflection, and the imposition of ashes as we remember the words, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Together we will reflect on Jesus’ time in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1–11) and begin our Lenten journey grounded in grace, repentance, and hope.
Ash Wednesday invites us to slow down, tell the truth about our lives, and remember that even in our fragility, we are deeply loved by God.
All are welcome — whether you have observed Lent for years or this is your first time.
Come hungry for good food, honest reflection, and the bread of life.
