Ash Wednesday Worship

  • Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church 900 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)

The season of Lent often begins with Christians contemplating what they might give up for Lent. Some people are then led to give up food or drink with coffee, soda, alcohol, chocolate, and fast food topping the lists of most popular items to let go of in this sacred season. Others seek to give up things that zap resources that could be more faithfully invested as shopping is swapped with wearing what you have and screen time exchanged for more prayer. While these efforts can be significant, more people testify to the power of taking on a new spiritual discipline, literally practicing our faith. Please join us on Ash Wednesday as we intentionally return to God and begin to ponder how we might see, hear, taste, feel, and touch God in our everyday lives. 

 

You are invited to be on the lookout for a special Lenten email with more information about Lenten services and activities next week and to make a plan to join us for Ash Wednesday Worship on Wednesday, March 5 at 6:45pm, in-person or online: (Facebook LiveLive StreamYouTube)
