Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, February 22 at 7:00pm at HUMC

Let us prepare ourselves for the Lenten journey ahead of us. By receiving the ashes, we are confessing to God our sins. We are lamenting and remorsing our sins and asking God for forgiveness. Join our Ash Wednesday Service to embark the Lenten journey together.

From Got Questions:

Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and some Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not observe Ash Wednesday; instead, they start Lent on “Clean Monday.”
