Ash Wednesday at Noon

Lent, a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter, begins on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time of self-examination and reflection. In the early church, Lent began as a period of fasting and preparation for baptism by new converts and then became a time of penance by all Christians. Today, Christians focus on relationship with God, growing as disciples and extending ourselves, often choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of ourselves for others.

Join us as we begin the season together in worship on Ash Wednesday, March 6 at:
