A solemn service. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent: The symbolism of “ash” is a powerful sign of repentance in Scripture, where putting on “sackcloth and ashes” is an outward symbol of deep contrition and mourning (e.g., Matt 11:21).

Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, being tempted by the enemy of his soul, resisting the Devil, and fasting and praying. So, for the 40 Days of Lent (Ash Wednesday – Easter Saturday, Sundays excluded), we examine ourselves, deny ourselves, and repent.

We spend time in deep confession and self-examination, seeking to build a pathway of intentional self-discipline for the season of Lent: to follow in the way of Jesus.

*Choose between mid-day (12 noon) or evening (6:30pm) services on March 2, Ash Wednesday.
