Ash Wednesday Service

  • West Springs Church 816 78 Street SW Calgary, AB Canada (map)

Ebenezer and Pastor Keitha will lead the service on together on March 5th @ 11am as we consider our need for God and the beautiful invitation to be connected and in an intention relationship with God. This service will include worship, a short homily, communion and the mark of ashes put on our foreheads. The ashes are an outward sign that symbolizes death, repentance and renewal.

Meaning:

  • Death: Ashes are a reminder of mortality and that our bodies will return to dust. It is also a call to die to sin.

  • Repentance: Ashes are a way to humble oneself before God and acknowledge behaviours that have drawn us away from God. A time to turn in fresh ways towards following the way of Jesus.

  • Renewal: Ashes are a sign of the journey of renewal from death to life that begins on Ash Wednesday.
