Making a Move Inward

Last Wed., Ash Wednesday, we celebrated this holy day with the spreading of ashes upon our foreheads, prayers, and hymns.  The darkened sanctuary was beautiful in the simplicity of decoration, giving us an opportunity to focus upon the symbolism of the evening: the beginning of our Lenten trek.

Along with worship on Sunday, celebrating Eucharist--a reminder of Jesus' last supper--we will gather Wed. at noon for a simple Mid-day prayer and a bare but healthy meal of rice and beans, with a cup of water.  Our focus in these Mid-day prayers and meals will be simply Jesus and his trek during these forty days as he draws closer to Golgotha.

Ashes on the forehead, the cup and bread, a meal of rice and beans, prayers, hymns, silence...join us in our Lenten devotion.

Peace,

Pastor Brett
