6:30pm: Worship and Imposition of Ashes
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent, a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. On this night, we emphasize two themes: our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. It doesn't stop there, though, as realizing our own brokenness helps us to understand our triumph through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Join us for a powerful night of worship, offered by the Connections Community in the heart of downtown Paris. Here, you always belong!
If you would like to help with the meal (soups and breads), please contact Rita Gaither at shootarita@gmail.com.
(FUMC Paris will also host a short mid-day service at 12:15pm in the Sanctuary.)
