There will be an Ash Wednesday Service at First UMC on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, beginning at 12:00 noon Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, and during the service the clergy will mark crosses on the foreheads of worshippers using the ashes from burnt palms.  The mark is a sign of repentance.  Reverend Dennis Sheppard will provide the message based on Luke 23: 23-34 – “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”  Join us as we begin 40 days of Lent.

Following the service there will be a soup and sandwich lunch.
