Break the Fast

Our Ash Wednesday service marks the beginning of the season of Lent, the 40 day period leading up to the greatest day of the Christian calendar, Resurrection Sunday (also known as Easter). The season of Lent has historically been marked by fasting and abstaining from certain foods or other luxuries in order to keep the sufferings of Christ for sinners at the forefront of our minds. This giving up of something is carried out in response to the gift of his death on the cross: our salvation and adoption as sons and daughters. Thus, we invite you to engage in a 24-hour fast, beginning Wednesday February 14th and concluding after our “Break the Fast” devotional service on Thursday February 15th at 6:00pm. 

Families are requested to worship and break the fast together; there is no child care this evening.
