On Ash Wednesday, we gathered to begin the journey to Jerusalem and the period of reflection known as Lent. This 40-day season of prayer and renewal is intended to prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus' resurrection. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of that journey with a calling to repent of our sin and reflect upon our walk with God.

In this Ash Wednesday sermon, Rev. Shannon Blosser focuses on Joel 2:1-2, 12-17 and its call for the community to participate in a period of reflection and renewal as it seeks to grow in faith.
