This is a time for reflection and prepa- ration before the celebrations of Easter--the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The number forty is significant in the Holy Scriptures. The most notable reference is Jesus’ forty days of tempta- rest of the year running from and it brings our need for a tion in the wilderness which is a reflection of the forty Savior to the forefront. Lent is a time to open the doors days Moses spent on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:18). Dur- of our hearts a little wider and understand our Lord ing the forty days of Lent Christians recall or relive Jesus’ a little deeper, so that when Good Friday comes, and journey in the wilderness and his sacrifice on the cross of eventually Easter, it is not just another day at church but Calvary. Christian churches that observe Lent use it as a an opportunity to experience the overflowing grace God time for self-examination and repentance, prayer, fasting, has to offer.” and self-denial.

    Ash Wednesday Service February 26, 2020 Holy Communion February 26, 2020 ● 12:00 & 5:30 p.m. Service WELCOME TO EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH INTRODUCTION On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism. While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ. We humbly pray for God to make our hearts clean while we rejoice that “now is the day of salvation.” Returning to our baptismal call, we more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world. GATHERING The assembly stands. PSALM 51:1–17 1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your | steadfast love; in your great compassion blot out | my offenses. 2Wash me through and through | from my wickedness, and cleanse me | from my sin. 3For I know | my offenses, and my sin is ev- | er before me. 4Against you only have I sinned and done what is evil | in your sight; so you are justified when you speak and right | in your judgment. R 5Indeed, I was born | steeped in wickedness, a sinner from my | mother's womb. 6Indeed, you delight in truth | deep within me, and would have me know wisdom | deep within. 7Remove my sins with hyssop, and I | shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be pur- | er than snow.
