Ash Wednesday, 10 February 2016

Posted on ; Filed under News

This year, Ash Wednesday falls on February 10th. To accommodate busy commuters who wish to observe the beginning of Lent, Rev’d. Karen Coleman will offer “Ash & Dash” from 3pm to 7pm; look for her just inside the red church doors on Broadway.

A brief service follows at 7pm.

“Spirit of truth, you know me intimately, you alone know what barriers to truth in me are ready to come down now so that I can enter more freely into the reality of God than ever before. Give me perseverance in my prayer and reflection day by day this Lent so that when the time is ready these barriers may give way like the walls of Jericho.”

Martin L. Smith, in A Season for the Spirit: Readings for the Days of Lent, (2004)
