We invite you to plan to attend one of our Ash Wednesday Service of Ashes on February 18 at 12 pm noon.

This afternoon service marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection and renewal. In a world that rushes past suffering and frailty, Ash Wednesday calls us to pause, to remember, and to trust in the God who meets us in dust and brings forth new life.
