Ash Wednesday and Lent 2021 – The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which is February 17th this year. Lent begins a journey of reflection and repentance, preparing our hearts and lives for the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday. Ashes will be available outdoors at the church building (weather-permitting) at 12 PM (wear a mask) and 5 PM (location TBD). Our worship series during Lent will be “Cultivating and Letting Go.” Each week, we will examine both what God yearns to cultivate in our lives and in our church, and what God challenges us to let go of to make space for growth. All are always welcome at our 10 AM worship services over Zoom. Also look for opportunities for small group gatherings over the 6 weeks of Lent.
