We’re sorry that we had to cancel the service du to the weather. We hope that this prayer brings you comfort as we start our Lenten journey.

An Ash Wednesday Prayer

Remember that you are created from dust, held together by God’s extravagant love, and to dust, you shall return.

Let the memory of your incomplete humanity awaken you to the wonders, joys, sorrows, and pain of life.

Let the ashes you wear be the ashes of transformation; of awakening to the beauty and love of seizing the moment and living it to the fullest.

Let it be said of you that here, in this little part of eternity, that you lived fully, loved extravagantly and helped humanity evolve into all that God dreamed we can be!

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
In the image of the ONE who is was and ever more shall be
Creator, Christ and Spirit ONE.
And tonight, embracing God’s love, we journey through Lent together.

Amen.
