The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a 6 week period set aside for reflection, repentance, prayer, and spiritual renewal leading up to Easter. Ash Wednesday is a day when we reflect on humility, our need for God, and our own mortality. All of these things come together at the Ash Wednesday service, when we face our Human depravity and frailty with the imposition of a ashes on our foreheads. This year's Ash Wednesday service will be held on 18 February at 12 noon.
