Join us as we celebrate each season of the church year
The Season of Epiphany continues until Ash Wednesday
Epiphany
Epiphany falls on January 6. During the weeks of the Epiphany season, we recall the events of Jesus' childhood, especially the journey of the wise men who followed the star to Bethlehem to see Jesus, who is the light of the world. We also remember his baptism and early ministry.
Read the story of the wise men: Matthew 2:1-12, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22, Matthew 3:13-17
Ash Wednesday follows Epiphany and begins Lent
Ash Wednesday
The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and lasts for forty days. In Lent we focus on Jesus' final journey to Jerusalem. We also consider our own life journey of repentance, hope, and change.
This year Ash Wednesday occurs on February 18, the seventh Wednesday before Easter. Ash Wednesday services often involve making the sign of the cross in ashes on the forehead of worshipers reminding us of the dust from which we came and to which we will return
Spend Time in Personal Reflection and Study
Prayer Practice:
Lord God,
You have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown.
Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
