The season of Lent -- the 40 days of preparation before the Easter celebration -- has been observed by Christians since the mid-4th century. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (this year February 22) and recalls Moses' 40-day fast on Mt. Sinai (Exodus 34:28) and Jesus' 40-day fast in the wilderness after his baptism (Matthew 4:2 and Luke 4: 1-2). It is a time of simplicity and reflection, focusing on repentence, prayer, fasting, service and the confession of sin rooted in the promise of God's grace through Jesus' atoning sacrifice on the cross.
Join us Wednesday evening, February 22 at 7:15 pm for the Ash Wednesday service. The marking of the cross with ashes on the worshipper's forehead is a symbol of repentence, rooted in Old Testament practice. Each Wednesday from February 29 to March 28 we will gather for Lenten worship at 7:15.
