The Significance of Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday holds great importance in the Christian calendar as it marks the beginning of the Lenten season. This solemn day of reflection falls 40 days before Easter, excluding Sundays. It is a time when believers come together to remember their mortality, seek repentance, and prepare their hearts for the upcoming Easter celebration.

Join Quivira Heights Church of Christ for Ash Wednesday 2021

At Quivira Heights Church of Christ, we invite you to join us for a meaningful Ash Wednesday service on February 17, 2021. Our community of faith comes together to engage in prayers, worship, and scripture readings that guide us in embracing the spirit of Lent.

Deep Reflection and Prayer

Ash Wednesday serves as a potent reminder of our human frailty and the need for spiritual renewal. During the service, a minister applies ashes in the shape of a cross on individuals' foreheads, symbolizing repentance and the transitory nature of life. This act instills in us a sense of humility and encourages us to reflect on our actions, seek forgiveness, and strengthen our relationship with God and our community.

The Meaning behind Ashes

The ashes used during Ash Wednesday services are obtained by burning the previous year's palm branches from Palm Sunday. This practice represents the cycle of life – from triumph and celebration to reflection and penance. The ashes remind us of our mortality and our dependence on God's grace and mercy.

Giving Up and Taking On

During the Lenten season, many Christians choose to give up or abstain from certain luxuries or habits as an act of sacrifice and self-discipline. This practice mirrors Jesus' 40 days of fasting in the wilderness and allows individuals to focus more on their spiritual journey. Some may also choose to take on new habits or engage in acts of service to others during Lent, further deepening their connection with God and their community.
