What is Ash Wednesday?
“Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, repentance, and spiritual preparation leading up to Easter. Traditionally observed by Catholics and now embraced by several Protestant denominations, Ash Wednesday serves as a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for repentance.
During Ash Wednesday services, ashes in the shape of a cross on the foreheads of worshippers, often while reciting the words: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19). The ashes symbolize grief over sin, humility before God, and the hope found in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.” (Biblestudytools.com)
On February 18, Faith Church will host a self-led devotional time in the sanctuary from 6am-1pm. Typically, people spend about 10 minutes reading, praying and receiving the ashes.
At 6 pm, we will hold a worship service in the multi-purpose room starting with a soup supper. Worship begins at 6:30pm.
