BRING YOUR PALM SUNDAY CROSSES

We will be collecting both loose palms and palm crosses from last year’s Palm Sunday so they can be burned and made into ashes for Ash Wednesday. We are accepting them now and gathering through the Monday before Ash Wednesday – just drop them by the office or give them to an Altar Guild member or clergy on a Sunday. These palms once marked Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and now help prepare us for the season of Lent, linking joy, humility, and renewal across the church year. Please bring your palm cross with you to church this Sunday and place it in the collection basket provided in the Sanctuary.

ASH WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE

Ash Wednesday begins the six-week season of Lent. In these services, we remember that we are dust and to dust we shall return by way of a cross of ashes being marked on our forehead. This reminder of our mortality sets us on our path through this subdued season in which we take a close look at ourselves and who God is calling us to be.
