March 6, Ash Wednesday, begins our mid-week Lenten services including the imposition of ashes at 7:00 pm. Services will continue each Wednesday evening leading up to Holy Week.
What is Lent? Our synodical president, Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, has succinctly described it as: Lent is a season of preparation for Holy Week and Easter. During Lent, the church's worship assumes a more penitential character, as the faithful meditate on the suffering that Christ endured on their behalf and reflect upon their own Baptism and what it means to live as a child of God. |
