Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21
Rev. Audrey C. Price, Ph.D.
Ash Wednesday Service – Enter the Season of Lent
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent—a 40-day journey of reflection, repentance, and renewal. In Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21, Jesus calls us beyond outward displays of faith and into a deeper, more authentic relationship with God. He invites us to pray in secret, to fast with humility, and to store up treasures not on earth, but in heaven.
This sacred service creates space to pause, to examine our hearts, and to realign our lives with what truly matters. Through scripture, prayer, silence, and the imposition of ashes, we remember both our human frailty and God’s enduring mercy. The ashes traced on our foreheads are a sign of repentance—and also a sign of hope.
As we begin Lent together, come seeking renewal. Come ready to release what weighs you down. Come prepared to journey toward the cross—and ultimately, toward resurrection.
