Ash Wednesday, February 22nd, is the day we begin a period of sober reflection, self-examination, and spiritual redirection. New Hope UM Church will hold an Ash Wednesday Service in the sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. Please make plans to join us.
Originating in the fourth century, the season of Lent spans 40 weekdays beginning on Ash Wednesday and climaxing during Holy Week with Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday), Good Friday, and concluding the Saturday before Easter. By having the forehead marked with the sign of a cross, this symbolizes that the person belongs to Jesus Christ, who died on a Cross. Also, having your forehead signed with ashes is a fitting and visible spiritual reminder that encourages one to adopt an attitude of prayer, repentance, and humility. As James said: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” (James 4:10 New International Version). Time After Epiphany
Time After Epiphany is sometimes called Ordinary Time, the word ordinary refers to ordinal, meaning counted time. It
is not meant to imply common or mundane time. It is a time of transition from the joy of Christmas to
the sorrow of Lent. The time after Epiphany is when we reflect on the events of the life of Jesus and
how these events have significance today, both as a church and within our individual lives. The length
of this season varies each year from four to nine Sundays, depending on how early or late Easter falls
in a given year. The first Sunday after the Epiphany is the Baptism of the Lord and the last Sunday
before the beginning of Lent is the Transfiguration of the Lord.

Pray with us, for a world that can be transformed through Jesus Christ.
Almighty and everlasting God, it is your will to restore all things to Christ, whom you have anointed priest for ever and ruler of creation.
