Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the forty day period of Lent.  During Lent believers purposefully spend more time in prayer, Bible reading, and fasting, growing ever closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.   We will once again hold an Ash Wednesday worship service on February 22 at 7:00 p.m. Pastor Smith’s message, “Reconciled”  will be from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, (2 Cor. 5:20-6:10.)  The worship service concludes with the imposition of ashes on persons’ forehead.  Everyone is encouraged to attend this meaningful service at the start of Lent.
