As we embark on the sacred journey of Lent, we invite you to join us on Ash Wednesday, the first day of this reflective season. Ash Wednesday holds a special significance as we mark the beginning of the forty days leading up to Easter.
Ash Wednesday Schedule:
7:30 AM, 12:10 PM, 6:30 PM in the Nave
8:00 AM: Morning Carpool Line at St. Paul's Episcopal Day School
"Remember that you are dust, and to dust, you shall return." These words, spoken during the imposition of ashes, serve as a profound reminder that we have a beginning and an end, but God, who has no beginning or end, invites us to ponder God's infinite love for us.
The custom of placing blessed ashes on our foreheads bears witness to our shared humanity and the need for reflection and renewal. Join us at any of the services to receive the ashes as a visible sign of our commitment to repentance and spiritual growth.
Let this Ash Wednesday be a moment of introspection and a step towards a deeper connection with our faith. May the ashes on our foreheads symbolize not only our finite nature but also the hope of transformation through the infinite grace of God.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful experience with you.
