Ash Wednesday - February 18 - On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth.

Our worship service, which will also include the imposition of ashes as well as the celebration of the Lord’s Supper will begin at 6:00 p.m. ***No Zoom available for evening service.
