Ash Wednesday Service
A key moment in the liturgical year. We receive the cross of Christ in ash and hear the words,
“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.”
Those are powerful words to have spoken over us. Words like that can transform your life. They remind us to live in the light of our mortality, to take a long hard look at how we are living, speaking, behaving and sort out anything that is not compatible with Christ’s call, and to be faithful to Christ. Lent then gives us 40 days to reflect on this and make changes.
At this service we will also situate Ash Wednesday in an Old Testament context and see how it has always been the cross that saves. But I’m not saying any more about that now, you’ll have to come along to find out.
