Join us as the season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday for a service of communion and the imposition of ashes. This solemn day calls us to pause and remember our mortality—“from dust you came, to dust you shall return”— and to turn our hearts toward God.As we enter these forty days, we hear Jesus’ challenging call to repentance. C.S. Lewis helpfully described repentance as an act of surrender: laying down our arms, admitting our faults, and saying we are sorry. It is a humbling first step. Yet Christ does not leave us in remorse. Following genuine repentance, He proclaims the good news of forgiveness and new life—an invitation to believe in His grace and mercy.
This service weaves together the penitential act of receiving ashes with the joyful hope of Holy Communion, embodying the full journey from confession to restoration. Come, begin your Lenten pilgrimage in this community of faith, embracing both the call to turn and the promise of redemption.
