Ash Wednesday Services - March 9

March 9 - 12:00 P.M. & 7:30 P.M. @ Main Building, 163 E. Wheeling Street & 6:30 P.M. @ Crossroads, 2095 Fair Avenue

Theme - Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40 day season of Lent and includes the imposition of ashes in the sign of the cross on our foreheads symbolizing our mortality and our dependence upon God. This is a season in which Christians are called to be attentive in practicing the spiritual disciplines and to follow Jesus as he journeys to the cross. The Sunday sermons during Lent will focus on six spiritual disciplines including fasting (March 13), sabbath (March 20), prayer (March 27), Holy Communion (April 3), Christian calendar (April 10), & pilgrimage (April 17.)

The sermon series can be truly enhanced for individuals who participate in the Lenten small groups being offered: ten groups meeting various times/days to delve deeper into the spiritual disciplines. I am looking forward to this opportuniy to grow in my understanding of who God calls me to be. Hope others will sign up, too!
