So the Whiteboard is divided in half...which means two pictures for the low, low price of one blog post!
We will formally enter into the reflective, prepartory season of Lent today with an Ash Wednesday worship service at 7PM in the Sanctuary. We will read the holy words of scripture from Isaiah 58:1-12 ("Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?") and Matthew 6:1-21 (Christ's teaching on sharing, praying, fasting, and giving). We will pray. We will receive the holy mark of ashes in the form of a cross on our foreheads marking us for the Lenten journey and remind us of our reliance on the grace, mercy, power, and peace that comes from God alone.
Then on Sunday we will being our Lenten Sermon Series on "The Habits of Faith". This sermon series will be a practical guide on the tangible things that you can do to grow in the faith through prayer, repentance, reconciliation, and joy. We'll kick the sermon series off this Sunday and I hope you can be with us!
