Ash Wednesday at St. Paul's

The season of Lent began this evening at St. Paul's with a moving Ash Wednesday worship service.

From the service:

"O God, maker of every thing and judge of all that You have made, from the dust of the earth You have formed us and from the dust of the earth You would raise us up. By the redemptive power of the cross, create in us clean hearts and put within us a new spirit, that we may repent of our sins and lead lived worthy of Your calling; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Dr. Laurence Hull Stookey, The United Methodist Hymnal (1989), #353

(Dr. Stookey was a professor of Pastor Charles at Wesley Theological Seminary)

Thanks this evening: Belinda Alkula (Video), Lorie Courier (Accompanist), and Dennis Hult (Liturgist) for their participation in tonight's worship service.
