Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a period of time that lasts 40 days (not counting Sundays). During the Lenten season this year we will focus on the life and faith of one of Jesus' most well known disciples, Peter. The season begins with Ash Wednesday when the focus is on our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. During the Ash Wednesday service, you will be invited to have ashes put on your forehead in the shape of The Cross as a visible marker of your faith and practice.
