Ash Wednesday
Join us for our annual Ash Wednesday service, a kick off to the Lenten season in which we reflect upon our need for Jesus and choose to embrace specific Lenten practices together as a community. Rabbi Simcha Bunim taught that we should carry two truths: “For me the world was created,” and “I am but dust and ashes.” In this tension, we seek renewal in Christ, embracing His love and grace to transform us.
The service theme will be "Never Waste A Good Crisis," and will involve some music, a short teaching, and some meditative space for you to consider the ways God might be leading you back to life in Him looking forward to Easter.
