Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, February 14

As we usher in the solemn season of Lent, join us for our Ash Wednesday services. This significant day marks the beginning of the Lenten period, a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal.

🌟 Why Ash Wednesday Matters: Ash Wednesday holds deep significance in the Christian calendar as it symbolizes humility and penance. It is a day for believers to acknowledge their mortality and repentance, paving the way for a transformative journey during the 40 days of Lent leading up to Easter. The ash cross, gently placed on the foreheads of worshippers, serves as a powerful reminder of our human condition and the call to turn our hearts back to God.
