FIRST WEEK OF LENTFebruary 18 – 28, 2015

Ash Wednesday — February 18Ash Wednesday Services

“Lord, Make Me An InstrumentOf Thy Peace”

12:15 & 7:00 pm | Sanctuary

Rev. Linda McDermottBegin the journey through Lent with a moving service of self-reflection and invitation to renewal. As the ashes

symbolizing human mortality are imposed, we remember that we are finite creatures living out eternal life in Christ. We pray,

then that God would teach us the ways of peace as we seek to be God’s people

in this world.

Simultaneous Children’s Service“Why Do We Get Ashes On

Our Heads?” 7:00 pm | Chapel

Mister Mark Burrows Children gather in the Chapel to sing songs, participate in many different

forms of prayer, and receive the imposition of ashes as they learn about Ash Wednesday and its significance in

this special kid-friendly service created to parallel adult worship

in the Sanctuary.

Prayer Stations are a Lenten opportunity for a variety of devotional and

meditational experiences that invite you to go deeper in your personal walk. Eight

stations will be set up in the Narthex and Sanctuary on February 18 (Ash

Wednesday) and February 22 (the first Sunday in Lent). The stations correspond to the overall and weekly themes of the season as we go on a journey through the beloved Prayer of Saint Francis.

They are designed for as much or as little time as your schedule allows. As you set aside moments to pray in different ways, connect to yourself, to your neighbors,

and to God through prayer.May you experience the depth of God’s

love and guidance as you begin this Holy Season of Lent.

lives and in our world.

Open to Peace Lenten sermon series with Easter’s Ultimate Good News: “It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” This glorious celebration will also feature
