Wednesday, February 6^th, marks the beginning of Lent.  Lent is a time of preparation to cast away whatever blocks our relationship to God and to set out on a journey to grow closer to God through our walk with Christ. 

Our journey begins with Ash Wednesday in which there will be two opportunities to worship and reflect, 12 noon and 5:30 pm.  Both begin with a simple supper to remind us of the call to simplify our lives and draw closer to God.  Following the supper there will be a worship service with an invitation to receive the mark of the cross in ashes to remind us of our own mortality, Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf and the call to pick up our own cross of discipleship, as well as, receive communion to remind us of our salvation and promise of eternal life.  You are invited to share in this simple yet powerful service.
