A Reflection on Ash Wednesday

Tonight we will meet at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. We will gather to worship and have ashes imposed on our foreheads.
            “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”
These words are not meant to depress you…but remind you. Humbly. The bodies we occupy are a gift from God and these from-the-dust bodies have an expiration date. But we, as children of God, will not expire. God’s love will not let us go.
“You are deeply and wildly loved by a God who doesn’t need anything from you, yet wants you more than anything in the world.
Make today the day you finally stop striving to be worthy of this wondrous love and rest in the truth that you already are.” (Sam Eaton)
