Ashes Mark Mercy Not Shame | Rev. Greg Bolt | Joel

This Ash Wednesday service reflects on Joel 2:12-14 and Matthew 6:1-21, inviting us into Lent as a season of honesty, humility, and reorientation. Rather than a ritual of shame or performance, Ash Wednesday names both our fragility and our belonging. We are marked with ashes not to diminish us, but to remind us that we are finite, loved, and called toward compassion, justice, and mercy. This service reframes repentance as a turning toward God and God's healing purposes for the world. As we begin the Lenten journey, we are invited to slow down, release distraction and spectacle, and choose a way of life rooted in love. We are dust, and we are beloved. All are welcome here.
