Ash Wednesday Service
Feb. 25th, 6:00pm @ Presley Chapel UMC

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the church season called Lent. “Lent” is an old English word for spring, and it designates a 40-day period before Easter (excluding Sundays) where Christians are invited to strengthen their life-giving connection to the Risen Christ through taking up a special spiritual practice or giving up something in order to jolt us out of our routine and awaken us to deeper levels of awareness of God’s sacrificial love for us. At the service the churches will be challenged with a church-wide spiritual practice.

The service will be brief (about 30 minutes), and will involve the invitation for you to come forward and have your forehead marked with ashes in the sign of the cross. Ashes in the Bible represent repentance and mortality. This act of worship is a way of centering our lives on the love of God that conquers sin and death.
