Ash Wednesday Service – 7pm, Wednesday, March 5

at Holy Community Covenant Church (1061 Ellice Ave.)

Join us for a one hour service of prayer and song and listening to God’s word as we begin our Lenten journey together. Lent is the 40 day desert journey before Easter where we join with Jesus as he embraces suffering and death. Ash Wednesday service will end with the traditional imposition of ashes where participants will be invited to have the sign of the cross placed on our foreheads as we hear the words, “From dust you came, and from dust you shall return. Repent and believe the gospel.” While this may seem like a very strange way to begin Lent; there is goodness in journeying the desert together – with Jesus! All are welcome. No nursery or kids programming will be available.
