Ash Wednesday - Reveille United Methodist Church
Welcome to Reveille United Methodist Church
Behind the Veil Christian Ministries invites you to experience the observance of Ash Wednesday with our faith community. Join us as we mark the beginning of the Lenten season with reflection, prayer, and spiritual guidance.
Why Ash Wednesday Matters
Ash Wednesday holds significant importance for Christians worldwide. It serves as a reminder of our mortality and the call to repentance. As an integral part of the Christian calendar, Ash Wednesday falls forty-six days before Easter, marking the start of the Lenten journey towards Easter Sunday.
Observing Ash Wednesday
Reveille United Methodist Church warmly welcomes you to our Ash Wednesday service, where we participate in the ancient ritual of receiving ashes on our foreheads. This act symbolizes our repentance and the invitation to return to God wholeheartedly. The ashes, usually made from burnt palm branches, represent humility, human limitation, and the need for redemption.
A Contemplative Time of Reflection
At Reveille UMC, we understand the importance of reflection and introspection during the Lenten season. Our Ash Wednesday service offers a quiet and contemplative space to pause, acknowledge our sins, and seek God's forgiveness. The words spoken during the service will challenge and inspire you to grow spiritually and find renewal throughout the Lenten period.
The Lenten Journey
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the sacred forty-day period known as Lent. The word "Lent" comes from the Old English word "lencten," meaning springtime. It is a time for Christians to prepare their hearts, examine their lives, and draw closer to God. By observing practices such as prayer, fasting, and acts of charity, we strive for spiritual growth and transformation.
