ASH WEDNESDAY
7:00 P.M.

It’s a simple service.

My message is short.

Some lovely music.

Imposition of the ashes and prayer at the rail.

Let God do whatever God wants to do in our lives this Lent. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday.

And repentance.

And thanksgiving for forgiveness.

Last Sunday

We will remember it as Keith Butterfield’s 97th birthday. We had a good time celebrating after worship. (We’ll do it for you, too, when you reach 97.)

Some folks thought I ran two women off during the sermon. I didn’t. That was just Vita and Linda stepping out to help with the birthday party.

What a job the choir did with just five people up there. No—I could hear no lack. Our tenor had to sing bass. Mary sang tenor.

Yes—we need a bass.

I want Blake to have what he needs.

Our choir is a bit of a marvel.

It sounds better than many larger choirs.

And it is a worship blessing.

This Sunday

Mary preaches for the next two weeks.

Do you remember all those questions Mary had to answer in prep for ordination? She will preach a couple of her answers in these sermons.

My next sermon is called “Jesus Got It Right.” How do we know? Does anyone know what God is like? Know for sure?

I say yes. But HOW can we know—for sure?

Remember breakfast.

(Do we have any others to help with this?)

See you WEDNESDAY! Perhaps? I hope.

God bless—MB
