Ash Wednesday Service
Join us on Wednesday, February 18th at 7pm as we start the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday contemplative service in the sanctuary.
“Lent marks the forty days leading up to Easter, mirroring the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness…It’s the downward slope of God—the Great Descent, where the whole Church walks toward the cross. Of course, the cross isn’t the end of the story, but this season of grief is carved out to acknowledge the reality of Christ’s sacrifice. And the reality of suffering that so many of our circumstances reflect too—our own pain and grief and despair. Easter is coming, yes. But for now, we sit in the ashes of our broken dreams and broken hearts, knowing that God sits here with us.”
-Kate Bowler
Lent Book Study
This year during Lent, groups at Central will read Zach Lambert’s book, Better Ways to Read the Bible. In this compassionate guide, Lambert dismantles four common lenses for reading the Bible that lead to harm, then offers four new lenses that promote healing and wholeness. This book welcomes all Christians--regardless of background, doubts, or wounds--to reengage Scripture in life-giving ways.
Go ahead and grab the book from your favorite retailer. If finances are a strain, let us know and we will get you a copy.
