A special evening of worship to usher in the season of Lent.  If you want to tell the world that you’re a believer, wearing ashes on Ash Wednesday is a way to do that while preparing yourself for the coming of Easter. We wear ashes not to show off our holiness to the world but to expose our commitment to consciously living in the manner of Christ. Wearing ashes, which can be a sign of mourning, unites us as we embark on this solemn period. The ashes remind us to be introspective and to behave in a way that nurtures our relationship with God.
