find someone to […]

Ash Wednesday Sermon by Pastor Susan Thomas, March 9, 2011

Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at 12:39 pm

I heard a report this week coming from a German city that celebrates Karnival. Karnival is the heavy partying, also known as Mardi Gras, that immediately precedes Lenten fasting. That partying is a remnant of the era when an entire people observed a season of confession and repentance, while reflecting upon the brief and […]

  Ash Wednesday Worship with Imposition of Ashes, Wednesday, February 22nd, 7:00 pm.

  • PREPARING FOR WORSHIP:

    ASH WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 7:00 p.m.:  Lent begins with a solemn call to fasting and repentance as we begin our journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. As we hear in today’s readings, now is the acceptable time to return to the Lord. During Lent the people of God will reflect on the meaning of their baptism into Christ’s death and resurrection. The sign of ashes suggests our human mortality and frailty. What seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning, in which we are washed in God’s mercy and forgiveness. With the cross on our brow, we long for the spiritual renewal that flows from the springtime Easter feast to come.Joel 2:1–2, 12–17
    Psalm 51:1–17
    2 Corinthians 5:20b—6:10
    Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21

    Ash Wednesday Worship with Imposition of Ashes will be held at 7:00 p.m.

    FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT, FEBRUARY 26, 2012, 10:30, a.m.:  On Ash Wednesday the church began its journey toward baptismal immersion in the death and resurrection of Christ. This year, the Sundays in Lent lead us to focus on five covenants God makes in the Hebrew Scriptures and to use them as lenses through which to view baptism. First Peter connects the way God saved Noah’s family in the flood with the way God saves us through the water of baptism. The baptismal covenant is made with us individually, but the new life we are given in baptism is for the sake of the whole world.

    Genesis 9:8–17
    Psalm 25:1–10
    1 Peter 3:18–22
    Mark 1:9–15
