The Lenten journey from the ashes of death to resurrected life begins on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday, which signifies a time to turn around, to change directions, to repent. This first day of Lent reminds us that unless we are willing to die to our old selves, we cannot be raised to new life with Christ. Those who desire to receive ashes come forward and may stand/kneel. Ashes are applied with the minister's thumb in the form of a small cross on the forehead of each person with the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." Ashes on the forehead is a sign of our humanity and a reminder of our mortality. Lent is not a matter of being good, and wearing ashes is not to show off one’s faith. Lent is a time for personal reflection that prepares people’s hearts and minds for Easter. 1 LWCC Important DatesFebruary 22: Ash Wednesday February 26: First Sunday of Lent March 05: Second Sunday of Lent March 12: Third Sunday of Lent March 19: Fourth Sunday of Lent March 26: Fifth Sunday of Lent April 02: Palm Sunday April 06: Maundy Thursday April 07: Good Friday April 09: Easter Sunrise Service April 09: Easter Service May 28: Pentecost Sunday 1 1
