Distribution of Ashes and Holy Communion
This service begins the season of Lent in which we follow our Lord as he makes his way to
the Cross. It is a season that begins with ashes, an ancient sign of our repentance and
willingness to renew our faith and turn to God. The words of Ash Wednesday, “Remember
that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” remind us of our dependence upon God
from beginning to end. Join us as we begin our Lenten journey and refocus our lives on the
things of God.
