Entering Lent

We enter a period of 40 days to reflect on the great love that God has for each of us and to enter more deeply into that love.  Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten journey. It is a time that points to Spring and New Life through the resurrection.  And it is a time to grow in the wisdom of Jesus through prayer, reflection, and practice.  We are invited to not just fast, but to also feast on the positive growth opportunities in our life.

Come join us on Wednesday, February 22nd as we open the season of Lent dusting each other in ashes. Let our dust be transformed into love. Invite a friend to our church community gathering.
