Ash Wednesday will be observed on March 2nd with a short service beginning at 6 p.m. in Hinton Hall, located in the Family Life Center. During the service ashes will be placed on foreheads as we confront our own mortality and confess our sin before God within our community of faith. Our guest preacher will be Kristen E. Vincent. Her sermon will be “The Way of the Beloved” and the Scripture is Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 (CEB). Kristen, the author of five books, has a Master of Theological Studies from Duke Divinity School and has completed the two-year Academy for Spiritual Formation. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, Max, a United Methodist minister, and their son. PLEASE NOTE: The service will take place during our regular Wednesday evening supper format, so plan to arrive early and receive your food before the service begins. Dinner is served beginning at 5 p.m. Food service will be stopped while the Ash Wednesday service is taking place. It will resume at the conclusion of the service.
