The 40-day season of Lent begins with our annual services of Ash Wednesday. This Holy day invites us to be thoughtful and aware of how finite our lives are. How can we make the most of them by serving the God who so lovingly created us?
The subdued and solemn tone that begins on Ash Wednesday runs through the Lenten season and many people take on practices and activities that encourage prayerful or more conscious contact with God. We have many opportunities through Sunday worship as well as special events and classes for all who want to experience a deeper connection this season.
