Ash Wednesday night service

As a Vicar at a mission church in Trussville, Alabama I was humbled with the privilege of placing the sign of the cross on our members foreheads. I looked into their eyes and saw their tears and their humility of coming to the altar rail and returning to their seats. The parents were so proud to bring forth their small children to have the cross placed upon their foreheads. I too had to fight back the tears. We are a small church in Alabama and we have been bleessed with overwhelmng growth in an area of the country where the LCMS is quite small in numbers. Our congregation is excited to worship each Wednesday during Lent and to share a Lenten meal(we have great cooks). We worship in our sanctuary where a five foot cross hangs from the rafters. As we received the cross on our forehead on Ash Wednesday, on Sundays we hear the message of the Cross and the great gift Christ offered us through His death and ressurection.

I was unable to go to the Ash Wednesday service due to having to work.

oil and ashes

The ashes placed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday are mingled with oil. In the same way, the Holy Spirit is with us always, though we ourselves are but dust and ashes.

The penitence of Lent

After experiencing a very humbling Ash Wednesday service this evening, I feel it is time to reflect on what I can give back to God. He blesses me so selflessly that I need to give him the Glory more and more.

Ash Wednesday & Lent

"I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ". The Ashes placed on my forehead on Ash Wednesday by my pastor is my witness to others about my faith. Thanks be to God for His journey to Golgatha. I am a redeemed child of God!
