Ash Wednesday: May you have a Holy Lent

I hope you will join us for one of our Ash Wednesday services today with the imposition of ashes and Holy Eucharist. Our services are at 7:30 am, 12:15 pm, 5:30 pm, and 7:30 pm.

We also have a gift for you from the members of St. Paul's: A booklet with mediations for each day of Lent, written by members, beginning with a poem today by Anna Askounis. I've read this several times, and I hear something new each time. I leave you with these verses for your day:

Ash Wednesday

By Anna Askounis

Rend your hearts
return to me
broken and contrite
reconciled
let us journey together
pilgrim
into the
wilderness
keep me, these forty days,
in the dark
secret
quiet
of your
heart
