  Ash Wendesday

  From March 05, 2025 12:00 pm until March 05, 2025 1:00 pm

  At Messiah Of The Mountains Lutheran Church 3690 US-19E, Burnsville, NC 28714, USA Categories: Holiday Services Tags: Sunday, Services, Special Event

  As a reminder, we will gather for Ash Wednesday service with imposition of ashes and Holy Communion. On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism. While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ. We humbly pray for God to make our hearts clean while we rejoice that “now is the day of salvation.” Returning to our baptismal call, we more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.
