Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday emphasizes a dual encounter: we confront our own mortality and confess our sin before God within the community of faith.
The form and content of the service focus on the dual themes of sin and death in the light of God’s redeeming love in Jesus Christ.
The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship.
The Imposition of Ashes can be a powerful nonverbal and experiential way of participating in the call to repentance and reconciliation.
