Ash Wednesday emphasizes our confronting our own mortality and our confession of sin before God and the Christian church. The imposition/giving of ashes can be a powerful visual reminder for the call to repentance and the acknowledgement that are lives are temporal and finite on this earth. The key phrase during this solemn act is the following theological phrase: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Our Sanctuary will be open on February 14th at 10:30 a.m. for anyone wishing to receive ashes.
