Ash Wednesday at Grace Lutheran Church

Join us for worship at noon and 7 p.m. throughout Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Lent begins with a solemn call to fasting and repentance as we begin our journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. During Lent the people of God reflect on the meaning of their baptism into Christ’s death and resurrection. The sign of ashes suggests our human mor-tality and frailty. What seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning, in which we are washed in God’s mercy and forgiveness. With the cross on our brow, we long for the spiritual renewal that flows from the springtime Easter feast to come.

Grace welcomes everyone to "come as you are casual."
