In what has now become an annual tradition, you are invited to attend a joint Ash Wednesday potluck and service between First and Westminster Presbyterian Churches on Wednesday, March 5. Each year one of our churches hosts the service and this year the service will take place at Westminster, 353 East Pine Street.
At 6:00pm we will gather in The Meeting Place for a potluck in which we will share our abundance with one another. Please bring enough food for your family and others who might join us (dishes and eating utensils will be provided).
At 7:00pm we will gather in Mackey Hall for a meditative worship service entitled “Overcome Violence: The Power and Promise of Peace.” During the service you will be invited through mindfulness, prayer, reflection, and the imposition of ashes to become more aware of our culture of violence and how we contribute to it through word and deed. As we begin the journey to accompanying Jesus as he carries the cross of nonviolent resistance, we will be invited to participate in a “Lenten Fast from Violence” as we work to bring about his kin-dom of justice and peace.
