Ash Wednesday and Lent
Join us as we begin our journey through 40 days of Lent together. We begin our journey on Ash Wednesday, when we gather and are marked with ashes upon our foreheads, which signifies our eventual death. We hear the words: “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return“. We acknowledge our sin and our mortality, but more importantly, we are again marked with the cross of Christ, which signifies the everlasting life which is promised to us through our faith in the resurrection of Christ.
We journey forth for the next forty days until the Easter Celebration, looking deeply within and repenting of the things that keep us from a deeper relationship with God.
We also meet each Thursday night for a meal to fellowship with one another, and to engage scripture.
You are more than welcome to join us for a meal and fellowship and study/interaction. Or, just for the meal and fellowship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Ash Wednesday Service is on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 @ 7 p.m. in St. Thomas Hall. Our parking lot is plowed, so there should be ample parking.
Our Lenten meals and study begin on Thursday, February 25, 2010, also in St. Thomas Hall.
We begin with a meal (feel free to bring a dish) at 6:00 pm, followed by bible study @ 7:00 pm.
We hope you will journey with us!
Grace, mercy and peace!
