March 1, 2017 Ash Wednesday A

Joel 2:1-2, 12-17 or Isaiah 58:1-12 • Psalm 51:1-17 • 2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10 • Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21

What if, on Ash Wednesday, we start giving up something that actually matters? On Ash Wednesday, when the ashes are imposed on our heads, let the words of all these prophets be also imposed on our hearts.

Our call to action this week is 3 practices for Lent to help us give up whiteness. The transcript includes resources for those practices as well as references and copyright/permissions info. The transcript can be found here:
