Lent, Martin Smith writes, “is about the freedom which is gained only through exposure to the truth.”
Ash Wednesday invites us to enter into the season of Lent, acknowledge and accept our failures and God’s grace in the midst of them.
This Ash Wednesday, March 5, from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., Ken Daniell of the Community United Methodist Church, and Wren Blessing and Wendy McAllister of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church will be outside the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership amphitheater on the Pagosa Springs Riverwalk ready to pray with those who desire it and prepared to impose ashes on a walk-up basis.
St. Patrick’s will hold two Ash Wednesday services at 225 S. Pagosa Blvd.: one at noon with prayer, song and the imposition of ashes, and a liturgy at 6 p.m. with prayer, song, the imposition of ashes and communion.
The Community United Methodist Church at 434 Lewis St. will also conduct an Ash Wednesday service at 6 p.m.
All are welcome to attend any of these Ash Wednesday observances.
