Ash Wednesday

From dust you came, and to dust you shall return...until... Maranatha, Lord Jesus come quickly.

Last night we had the opportunity to express sorrow and repentance before God. We were reminded of our condition, our fallen nature under the judgment of God to return to the dust from which we came. Until.

Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of our journey to the cross together, a journey from despair to hope. Though we confess our sin on Ash Wednesday, we celebrate forgiveness and new life on Easter. Though the journey begins with sorrow, we travel ever closer to joy.

We invite you to consider this journey, and join us in the weeks to come as we make our way to the cross and the empty tomb.

The Lord be with you,

-Tim
