Due to poor road conditions we will observe Ash Wednesday with Morning Prayer and a homily from Fr. Chris Peterson via Zoom at 7:30 a.m.
The season of Lent is a forty day period of penitence, fasting, and prayer, in preparation for the great feast of the resurrection at Easter. “The forty days refer to our Lord’s time of fasting in the wilderness; and since Sundays are never fast days, Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten Fast.” BCP, page 542
