Ash Wednesday Service
February 18, 2026 from 7:00 - 8:00pm EST
The words "You are dust, and to dust you shall return,” stir something deep within us. Death may be one of our greatest fears, and much of life is spent trying not to think about it, pushing it to the edges of our minds. Still, we need this reminder. We are created beings, and because of sin, we will one day die.
But we do not remember without hope. Even as we reflect on our mortality, our eyes are fixed on Christ and the promise of eternity. As D. J. Marotta captures this truth, “We are not too important to die. But in Christ, we are too important to stay dead.”
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season that invites us to slow down, remember Christ’s suffering, our mortality and bring our sin before God with the hope of the resurrection.
Join us as we reflect on our lives and our mortality, held by the steady and certain hope of Jesus.
