Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season, preparing our hearts for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is a time to repent, draw closer to God, and reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
📜 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.” – Joel 2:12-13 (ESV)
Come with a humble heart and prepare for a meaningful journey through Lent, leading to the glorious celebration of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday.
