Ash Wednesday Imposition of Ashes
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 12 p.m. & 5 p.m.
Location: Perry St. | Sanctuary steps
“From dust you came and to dust you will return.” Throughout the ages, Christians have marked the beginning of Lent by remembering their mortality and receiving the imposition of Ashes. During the past year we have been reminded that death is all around us; yet, we prepare to celebrate the familiar but strange news that Jesus has opened the way to life beyond the grave. If you would like to receive the imposition of ashes, come to the sanctuary steps at 12pm or 5pm on Ash Wednesday. We ask that all participants wear a mask and practice social distancing.

DMET LENT DEVOTIONAL OFFERING
As we enter the season of Lent, these on-line resources may be useful in expanding our Christian imagination for coming alongside those who are marginalized and to listen in on what the Lord may be whispering to us. Our hope is that these resources may help us to situate the real issues of our time theologically.
Habitat for Humanity – weekly Devotional exploring ways “we can honor Jesus by caring for others.” Each weekly reflection includes prayer, scripture, a contemporary reflection and questions for discussion.
An American Lent – an on-line (or downloadable) daily Lenten Devotional developed by The Repentance Project and is a “journey through America’s history of slavery, segregation and racism.” Each day includes an opening and closing prayer, scripture, reflection and links to resources for deeper resources.
Presbyterian Mission of PCUSA Beloved Community Lenten Devotional – Using a model of Christ’s words in Matthew 25, this Lent Devotional is intended to increase commitment to “creating beloved communities in our own backyards.” Each day includes scripture, a reflection, and a closing prayer. This guide was designed in 2020 but is very current and easy to use.
