Join us for the Welcome Reception after Worship!

A prayer for Ash Wednesday, as we begin the 40 days of Lent.

Our sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. O Lord, lift us, cleanse us and restore us, that we may know the joy of your salvation, bring glory to you in all things and serve our neighbors in love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
