Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is a public call to the community of faith to gather in humility and repentance much like the Day of Atonement in the Old Testament (Lev 16). One should not enter the wilderness in haste and with no preparation. Our Ash Wednesday service is the intentional preparation for us to enter the season of Lent together. Please join us in the sanctuary at McKernan this evening at 7pm.
