Ash Wednesday Worship - 2/6

Submitted by Rob on January 15, 2008 - 11:18pm.

Join us at our Ash Wednesday worship gathering as we remember our mortality and begin the Lent journey to Easter. We will gather 8 PM on Wednesday, February 6 at the Loring Park Community Art Center, 1382 Willow Street, Minneapolis 55403; the East Side of Loring Park. Parking is available at Emerson School, corner of LaSalle and 14th, entrance on 14th Street.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.  On this day, Christians focus on their complete sinfulness and the necessity of Christ's suffering and death to insure their salvation.  Ashes are referred to many times in the Old Testament as signs of sorrow, mourning, humility, and repentance, and on Ash Wednesday they are used to remind people of their mortality --  that "you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19).  Many churches use ashes during Ash Wednesday worship in a ritual called the Imposition of Ashes.  This is the beginning of 40 day journey to Easter, not counting Sundays.
