Psalm 51:1-17 | Ash Wednesday begins our annual Lenten journey to Christ’s cross and resurrection. At the same time, one could also suggest that Ash Wednesday begins our annual “cleaning” as we prepare to stand in God’s presence? But how much of this work can we do on our own? Join us for worship as we begin the Lenten season and as we invite the Holy Spirit to cleanse us and fill us to the brim.
