Wednesday, March 2
12pm Chapel &
6pm Sanctuary & livestreaming at gfumc.com
Gainesville First UMC
Traditionally, this service of worship that marks the beginning of Lent is a reflection on our mortality and a call to repentance as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter. Perhaps in this year more than any other in recent memory, we are all too aware of our mortality and for many our hearts are heavy with grief. So let us remember that while the ash mark we receive is stark, it is made in the form of a cross and reminds us of the love and grace offered to each one of us as we repent and return to God.
There will be a lunch following the 12pm service. Menu: Vegetable soup/broccoli cheese soup, turkey on croissant with lettuce and tomato, chips, & cookies. $5 suggested donation.
