Ash Wednesday Service | Lent Begins
Join us for our evening Ash Wednesday service. The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship, and the Imposition of Ashes can be a powerful nonverbal and experiential way of participating in the call to repentance and reconciliation.
Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you havemade and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create andmake in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthilylamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness,may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remissionand forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who livesand reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for everand ever. Amen.
