collection drives for various items needed in Liberia

Wednesday, March 5th

Ash Wednesday

This Wednesday, March 5th, is Ash Wednesday. Our

Wednesday night activities will begin with a light meal of

Soup and Salad. This meager meal is intentional to prepare

our heart, mind, and soul for the beginning of the Lenten

season.

The meal will begin at 5:45 p.m. followed by an Ash

Wednesday service in the Sanctuary at 7:00 p.m.

Holy Communion during Lent

Holy Communion

You are invited to this informal time of

meditation, in the Chapel, as we journey

together toward Calvary. Join us each

Wednesday during Lent at 5:30 p.m.

March 19 Rev. Matt Parker, Jarratt Pryor

March 26 Rev. Michele May, Karen Smith

April 2 Rev. Debbie Huckaby, Brenda Pryor

April 9 Rev. Parker Benson, Karen Whitehead

What is the Meaning of Lent and

Ash Wednesday?

Lent is the Christian season of preparation before Easter. Ash

Wednesday marks the first day, or the start of the season of

Lent, which begins 40 days prior to Easter (Sundays are

considered “mini-Easters,” i.e. celebrations of the resurrection

of Christ, and are not included in the count). Therefore, there

are 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter, excluding the

Sundays (it is inappropriate to fast on Sunday). Forty days

correspond to the 40 days of Jesus’ struggle and temptation in

the wilderness (Luke 4:2); the 40 days Moses fasted on the

mountain (Exodus 34:28); Elijah’s 40 days in flight to the

mountain of God (1 Kings 19:4f); and of course, the 40 years of

Israel’s wanderings in the desert.

Lent is a time when Christians prepare for Easter by observing a

period of fasting, repentance, moderation, and spiritual

discipline. During the Ash Wednesday service, the minister will

lightly rub the sign of the cross with ashes onto the foreheads of

worshippers. This mark on the forehead

symbolizes ownership (Ezekiel 9:4; Revelation

7:2,3; 14.1). As a Christian, you belong to Christ:

“You are not your own; you were bought at a

price. Therefore honor God with your body.” (1

Corinthians 6:19,20). Ashes are the biblical

symbol of mourning and repentance (2 Samuel 13:19; Daniel

9:3; Matthew 11:20,21). Also, ashes are a symbol of death and

remind us of our mortality. This is based on God’s words to

Adam in Genesis 3:19, “For dust you are and to dust you will

return,” and on Abraham’s confession in Genesis 18:27: “I am

nothing but dust and ashes.” Ashes are a reminder of our

mortality and of our need to repent and make peace with God

before this life is over.

Not all Christian churches observe Ash Wednesday or Lent.

They are mostly observed by the Lutheran, Methodist,

Presbyterian and Anglican denominations, and also by Roman

Catholics.

Lent is a time to refocus our lives on Christ: “Salvation is found

in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to

men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Lent is a time of

humbling ourselves before God. It is a time when we remember

who we are and who Christ is. We are sin and death. He is the

resurrection and the life. We are dust and to dust we shall

return. Yet whoever believes in Christ will live, even though he

dies. We gather on Ash Wednesday to humble ourselves and

refocus our lives on Jesus Christ. We gather to worship Him as

our Lord and Savior.

BUILDING A HEALTHY CHURCH ONE TIP AT A TIME

Poor food handling can spread viruses and

bacteria. Improper touching of food that is intended for

other people can spread viruses and bacteria.

What should I do? Be mindful not to handle food with your bare hands

if somebody else is planning to eat it. Use a napkin or a clean utensil to

move or transfer food and always wash your hands thoroughly before

handling any food item.
