ASH WEDNESDAY, March 5, 2025 7 PM
You are invited to a Family-Friendly Ash Wednesday Worship Service!
Who: Everyone! Families, friends, and individuals of all ages.
You are invited to join us for a special Ash Wednesday service where everyone is
welcome-from the littlest ones to the wisest ones! Together, we will gather in
prayer, reflection, and worship to begin the Lenten Season.
This year we will also be doing a fun and meaningful activity during the service that
allows each home to take a special keepsake from the evening. It is a wonderful
way to bring a piece of the service into your family’s journey through Lent.
