On Ash Wednesday, we begin the season of Lent with ashes, honesty, and hope. Jesus invites us to examine not just what we do, but why we do it—calling us into a faith that is personal, vulnerable, and rooted in grace. In these 40 days, God opens space for us to be created, restored, delivered, and reconciled.

What You’ll Learn:

Reflect on why spiritual practices matter—and what motivates them

Embrace vulnerability as a pathway to forgiveness

Understand reconciliation as a gift from God, not an achievement

Discover how Lent creates space for deep, lasting transformation

Receive the invitation to be created, restored, and delivered by God

Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21

Psalm 51

2 Corinthians 5:20b–6:10
