Calvary Lutheran Church Invites You to Ash Wednesday Service

Calvary Lutheran Church invites you to Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday, March 6 at 1:15pm or 7:30pm. Join us as we mark the beginning of Lent and our 40-day journey to Easter. Both our afternoon and evening services include Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes.

At Calvary, our theme this year for the Season of Lent is "Reclaiming Sabbath." Pastor Carol Lindsay notes, “Living 24/7 might be how folks are wired right now but it's not how we were created. The Bible basically says, "No to the Culture of Now", to borrow a Walter Brueggeman phrase. We are hoping to learn some healthy boundaries that give us the permission to rest in this reflective season of the year. Sabbath isn't about rules - it's about wholeness.”

On Ash Wednesday, we gather to prepare our hearts and minds for the renewal of faith given to us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pastor Carol says, “We invite others who are weary and stressed to join our worship on Ash Wednesday, as we introduce this theme, and throughout the upcoming Lenten season.”

Ash Wednesday services are on March 6 at 1:15pm and 7:30pm. Calvary Lutheran Church worships every Sunday at 10:15am in the sanctuary. Everyone is welcome in our church, everyone belongs - no matter what your journey with God has been. Calvary is located at 108 Eastman Street in Cranford.
