“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
These are the powerful words that we use each year on Ash Wednesday. They are words that I am familiar with, yet they still elicit many thoughts of reflection for me. Thoughts of introspection and evaluation. They give me the permission to look at my life, but to also accept God’s grace.
During Lent this year we will be examining ways to piece together a life of purpose and meaning while also looking at the things that fail to bring meaning and connection. Our series Looking For Love will offer moments to revisit our own priorities.
Our Ash Wednesday offering will be in the community. We are offering Ashes to Go at the Western Brown Line stop. What better way to enter Lent than to look someone in the eye and let them know that they are dust. Register online or get in contact with me if you are able to join us. If you can’t apply ashes, think about stopping by to receive ashes.
Peace,
Matthew
