“Ash Wednesday directs us toward our common vulnerability, finitude, and weakness and announces the truth of human solidarity: ‘You are but dust and to dust you will return’ …Ash Wednesday thus inaugurates us into what Bonhoeffer calls the “service of bearing,” in which “those who bear with others know that they themselves are being borne.”
– Jennifer McBride, Radical Discipleship
Join us on Ash Wednesday for a “service of bearing,” committing ourselves to a Holy Lent in which we work “to loose the bonds of injustice” (Isa. 56:8) and work for justice and peace.
