What are Ash Wednesday and Lent about?
On Ash Wednesday, the Christian Church enter the forty-day season of Lent. What is Lent for? It is a time of 1) self-examination, 2) repentance, and 3) renewal by the reception of God’s grace in Christ. We subject ourselves to examination in the light of God’s Word; we are brought to repentance through His Word; and ask Him to renew our life of faith and prayer with His Word and Sacraments, as we prepare for the joyful holy day of Easter and for the seven weeks of the Easter season. 02/14/2024 12:00 AM

“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm… [This] show[s] you how a king may go... through the guts of a beggar” (Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 3). Shakespeare has Hamlet say this to illustrate how death is an equalizer among men. Death comes to all, deny it as you might – repent and prepare before it comes to you, or before our Lord’s return, whichever comes first. 02/07/2024 12:00 AM
