Ash Wednesday-February 22nd at  12 pm

As we prepare for the Lenten journey to the cross, we begin with the mark of ashes. These ashes remind us, we return to dust as we came from dust. I think by placing ashes in the sign of the cross, we are reminded outwardly of the sins which Jesus takes to the cross. It is at the cross, our sins (which vary greatly person to person) die in Jesus’s final moments. Not only does Ash Wednesday start the season of Lent, but it serves as a reminder to us of our ongoing commitment to the implications of the Resurrection in our own lives. This implication leads to our death in which we will be reborn through the Resurrection of Christ. The cross of ash on individual’s heads serves as that visual reminder.

Join us on February 22nd at *insert worship time for the beginning of our journey to the cross. Pastor Drew will be hosting “Ashes to Go” at Greenbean Coffee House at 715 6^th Ave from 7am-10am. If this time does not work for you or if you are unable to come to the evening service, please let Pastor Drew know and we can figure out a separate time. We pray your journey in Lent this year, will be a journey which you experience the cross in a new way.
