Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. It is a time to turn back to God, acknowledging that all have sinned and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23). In this service, we come before God in confession and humility, recognizing our need for His grace. The imposition of ashes is a public act of repentance and commitment—a sign that we turn away from sin and toward Christ. These ashes remind us of the brokenness in our lives and the hope we have in Jesus, who redeems and restores. Lent is not about striving to be better but about surrendering to God’s transforming work. As we begin this journey together, we step into a season of deepening faith, walking with Christ toward the cross and the promise of resurrection.
