SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday Service\nBegin Your Lenten Journey Together \nAsh Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent — a sacred season of reflection\, repentance\, and renewal. Floris United Methodist Church and Restoration UMC invite you to begin this holy journey by attending our Ash Wednesday Service\, offered both in person and online. \nWhether you join us in the sanctuary or participate from home\, this service offers a meaningful opportunity to pause\, pray\, and reorient your heart toward God as we prepare for Easter. \n\nWhat to Expect in Worship\nThis service centers on encountering Jesus through prayerful\, time-honored practices that ground us at the start of Lent. Together\, we will: \n\nSing and pray as a community\nHear scripture and reflection for the Lenten season\nReceive the imposition of ashes\, a visible sign of our humanity and our hope\n\nThe ashes remind us of our mortality — “from dust we came” — while also pointing us toward the promise of new life that God brings even from the ashes of our lives. \n\nPancake Supper Before the Service\nJoin us before the service for a pancake supper\, offering a warm\, welcoming space to share a meal and connect with others. \n\nTime: 5:30pm – 6:45pm\nOpen to individuals and families\nA simple\, hospitable way to begin the evening together\nRegistration is required for the pancake supper\n\nRegister Now > \n\nFamily Worship Before Service\nFamilies planning to attend Ash Wednesday Family Worship will gather in the Gathering Space near the chapel at 6:15 p.m. for a brief\, meaningful service where adults and children alike will learn about the ritual and receive ashes. \n\nJoin In Person or Online\n\nIn Person: Attend worship at Floris UMC Church\nOnline: Join us via livestream from wherever you are\n\nBoth options provide a meaningful way to participate in this sacred moment as Lent begins. \n\nWhy Attend?\n\nBegin the Lenten season with intention and prayer\nShare a meal and fellowship with the community\nParticipate in a meaningful act of worship and reflection\nGround your journey toward Easter in grace and hope\n\nWe invite you to make space for this holy pause. Come as you are\, gather around the table\, and enter Lent together — grounded in faith\, community\, and the promise of new life.
