Ash Wednesday is tomrrow at 6pm at Westside. Set up and ready.

Those of you who know me or have talked to me about what I love about ministry know that Central‘s Ash Wednesday service is my absolute favorite service of the year. By far. Every year we do it I say to the people I’m serving with, “This is why I signed up to be a pastor.” When people kneel with me and I take Ash and I put it on their forehead and I say the words “repent and believe the gospel,” it’s one of the most intimate acts of ministry I get to do. The service is incredibly simple: Scripture. Silence. Song. And sacramental acts. If you haven’t noticed, we’ve been doing pretty much the exact same Ash Wednesday service for 20 years.

Wednesday night at 6 p.m. at Westside.
