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.
