Remember you are dust and to dust you will return.

In the liturgy on Ash Wednesday, Pastor Kelley will draw an ashen cross, and remind each, “to dust you will return.” It’s one of the most moving gestures of ministry.

The Christian community prepares for Easter by entering this holy season of Lent with these words and this mark. We begin Lent remembering our need for repentance (turning) and our reliance on the forgiveness of God. We do so in the hope that Lent may be a time of renewal, growth and transformation.
