Ash Wednesday Noon Prayer

Picture
March 5, 12:00-12:30pm
No cost. All are welcome!
​

Join us in-person at Pathways for our annual Ash Wednesday Noon Prayer service.  ​
​
This service includes scripture, song, silence, and marking with ashes. An opportunity to turn our faces toward the One who calls our hearts home. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21


Stepping from the brightness of Epiphany
We enter and unfamiliar place called “Lent.”
Our eyes are slow to adjust to the change.
We blink back tears and stand still wondering if our eyes are open or closed,
For nothing visible lies before us.
Our senses tell us there are objects ahead-
Prized places, sacred spaces.
There is no sense of urgency;
Time has fallen away leaving forty days and forty nights
To explore this unknown, yet somehow familiar place;
Touching, feeling, knowing holy moments.
