Today is the first day of Lent.
Several years ago, I discovered the value of observing this season in the church calendar. Something special happens during this season of introspection, confession and repentance. It's a great time of spiritual renewal, preparing me to really celebrate the wonder of Easter.
I have also discovered the value of beginning the season with an Ash Wednesday service. Being reminded that I am dust, and that I'll return to dust is an uncomfortable, but necessary truth to be reminded of.
Our service starts at 6:30. You're invited to join us.
