ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE - 7 pm Wednesday the 18th - Lenten season begins.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the 40-day Lenten season–a time in which Christians are called to prayer, fasting, and repentance before celebrating Easter. The 40 days (excluding Sundays) reflect the time that Jesus spent in the wilderness being prepared for His public ministry. In a similar way, Christians are challenged to maintain a posture of humility, acknowledging our dependence on God’s grace and mercy. Lent is a time to study and reflect on our thoughts, actions, and attitudes that separate us from the life God intends for His children.

Ash Wednesday always occurs 46 days before Easter–40 days of Lent plus the six Sundays (which are not traditionally observed as fasting days). In 2026, Ash Wednesday will take place on February 18. Since Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, the dates for Easter, and therefore Ash Wednesday, vary from year to year.

FEBRUARY ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL AGENDA

We will be watching the Right Now Media presentation of “Starting Point” hosted by Andy Stanley. Here is a brief description:

Everything has a starting point-your life, your relationships, your education, your career. Sometimes we forget that faith has a starting point as well. For some of us, our faith journeys began in childhood as a set of beliefs handed to us by a parent, teacher, or pastor. Maybe you developed a framework of faith based on personal experience. Or maybe you had not faith at all. Too often, a faith formed in childhood isn't strong enough to withstand the pressures of adult life.

But what if you could find a new starting point for faith?
