What's Happening in March?
The Role of Ash Wednesday in the Lenten Season
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten period, a time of preparation and self-examination leading up to Easter. In the Lutheran Church, Ash Wednesday serves as a reminder of our mortality and the need for repentance. It is a time to acknowledge our sins and seek forgiveness through the limitless grace offered by God through Jesus Christ, as we symbolically receive ashes on our foreheads in the shape of the cross. This act serves as a visible sign of our humility and our desire to turn away from sin and return to God.

Ash Wednesday Services will be held at Friedens Lutheran Church, Hegins, on March 5th 12:00 Noon and also at 7:00 PM Please join us.

Pre-Service Fellowship
What do you think about arriving at church a little early so you can enjoy
some fellowship time with fellow worshippers?
Oh, yes, and did we mention over coffee and some snacks!
Well, the Fellowship Committee is going to give this idea a trial run beginning Sunday, March 2nd .
Tables, coffee and snacks will be set up from 10:00 to about 10:25 AM.
So, you are all invited to this fellowship opportunity every Sunday before worship
from March 2nd to Easter which this year is on April 20th.
Come join us! Give it a try!
