Ash Wednesday

Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return. Tonight we begin our Lenten journey to Easter beginning with this ancient ritual of marking our forehead with ashes. While it may feel morbid, perhaps it is also an invitation to take stock of what really matters- what is really worthy of our time and efforts. We begin in this place where we are loved, we end in this place where we are loved- so what do we want to do with this in between time now that we know the points do not matter?

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 58:1-12, Matthew 6:1-6
