Ash Wednesday and the Beginning of Lent

As always, the season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday as we pray David’s words of Psalm 51.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit (Psalm 51:10-12).

David’s prayer is our prayer too. Only through Christ are we saved. Even as we are reminded of our mortality, through God’s grace, mercy and love, Christ extends the promise of God’s kingdom to all who believe.

Our Ash Wednesday service will begin at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, February 14th .
