Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent.  An Ash Wednesday service seeks to remind Christians that we were formed from dust and to dust our bodies will return – to remind us that we are spiritually, emotionally, morally, intellectually, and relationally fragile beings. Ashes, which symbolize death and repentance, are placed on the worshiper's foreheads in the form of the cross with the officiate saying, Remember that thou art dust, and to dust, you shall return.

Join us in the Sanctuary as we mark the beginning of the season of Lent following a light soup supper.
