Ash Wednesday - Evening Service

  • Highlands United Methodist Church 1045 20th Street South Birmingham, AL, 35205 (map)

On Ash Wednesday we join with Christians around the world in beginning the season of Lent. Ash Wednesday worship focuses on repentance and reconciliation. Ash Wednesday is an opportunity for us to go deeper into our hearts and into the souls of our communities, and to recognize the horror and depth of our estrangement from God. Through our worship and Lenten Discipline we begin a spiritual journey that takes us to a cross where Jesus gave his life for the life of the world. Such a journey is not easy and goes far beyond the surface of individual sin into the systemic roots that cause it. It is a journey that reveals the truth about our lives both individually and collectively. Through this journey we discover the grace and forgiveness of God in a most profound way.

Join us for worship in the Sanctuary at 6:30 p.m. The Reverend Garrett Harper will be our guest homilist.
