Ash Wednesday

February 18, 2026

A treasured United Methodist hymn begins, “Sunday’s palms are Wednesday’s Ashes.” On Ash Wednesday, we use ashes made from the previous year’s palms from Palm Sunday as a material means of confronting our own mortality and confessing our sin before God within the community of faith in light of God’s redeeming love in Jesus Christ.

Walk-Up Ashes February 18, 7-9:30 am, Sidewalk in front of Norwood Entrance
Our ministry team will offer ashes and prayer in front of the Norwood entrance to anyone who would like to receive them. Please park and walk up.

Worship Service, February 18, 7 pm, Sanctuary
Begin the Lenten season with a meaningful time of worship as we prepare our hearts through prayer, reflection, and the imposition of ashes. This sacred service marks the start of our journey toward Easter, inviting us into repentance, renewal, and a deeper walk with Christ. All are welcome.
