Join us for a service commemorating the beginning of our Lenten journey. Service begins at noon and includes the imposition of ashes to remind us of God’s amazing gift of life to us and that we are all mortal.

From the prayer blessing the ashes before imposition:

Almighty God, thou hast created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by thy gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
