Ash Wednesday - Create in me a Clean Heart

Rev. Tayler Necoechea

Ash Wednesday offers us an opportunity to begin our Lenten journey of reconciliation, renewal, and restoration. 

On this Ash Wednesday, we will pray free through systemic and relational transformation. 
that God will cleanse us and make us a new heart as we turn our eyes towards the most vulnerable among us. This begins with confession, allowing God into those spaces of ourselves we might not like others to see.

Fasting on Justice and Mercy

Rev. Jenny Smith Walz

Jesus tells us what acts of mercy are: feeding, clothing, visiting, welcoming.
Jesus also invites us to join him in the work of justice: setting the oppressed free through systemic and relational transformation. 
If Lent includes fasting, might we, like the writer in Isaiah 58, choose the fast of justice and mercy? 
With whom will our hearts be as we fast in this way?
