Ash Wednesday and Lent

/

The Lent Season is upon us!  Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday!  Hollydale will hold its Ash Wednesday Servicetomorrow at 7pm, following theWednesday Dinner.  Please plan to join us for dinner and fellowshipat 6pmand stay for the service to begin the Lenten season with worship, reflection, reconciliation and the imposition of ashes.  If you are unable to attend the7pmservice, there will be an offering of the Imposition of Ashestomorrow morning at 10:00 amat the church.

Attached please find a schedule of the Lenten Season sermons that will be shared by Pastor April, along with aLenten Timeline that explains a little bit about the Lent Season leading up the Easter Sunday.

You might ask……What's with the ashes?  The ashes remind us of our mortality and they are also our symbol of mourning and repenting for our sins. These are reminders of our need for a Savior.  The ashes placed on the shape of the cross on the forehead of each Disciple transform the ashes into our proclamation that we have such a Savior in Jesus Christ! Ash Wednesday is a vital and holy time as we begin the season of Lent. 

Have A BLESSED day and see you at dinner on Wednesday at 6pm!
