Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent—a season of reflection, repentance and renewal. Join us for a meaningful worship service with prayer, scripture and the imposition of ashes, reminding us of God’s grace and our call to walk more closely with Christ.

Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
Sermon: "Shattered" by Rev. Dr. Ann Kovan
Synopsis: Ash Wednesday is a time of naming brokenness. As we enter the season of Lent, we commit to enter also into a season of healing and recovery that requires the naming of what has been shattered as a first step. We take “the yoke” of responsibility as disciples of Jesus to be the Body of Christ–a body of those who need healing and offer healing in the world. The promise of Jesus is that he is with us in our weariness and burdens.

All are welcome, whether this is your first Ash Wednesday or a familiar tradition. Come as you are.
