ASH WEDNESDAY

Wednesday, March 5

We will begin our journey through Lent on Wednesday, March 5, as we enter a time of reflection, repentance and preparation for Holy Week and Easter. We start by remembering that we are dust, and to dust we shall return.

We will offer the opportunity to receive ashes and a time for quiet and stillness in our sanctuary on the morning of March 5, from 7:30-8:30 am.

Join us for a time to connect with others at our Simple Soup Supper, starting at 5 pm. See below for more information about our weekly Wednesday soup suppers.

Ash Wednesday Worship will begin at 6 pm. This service will also offer the opportunity to receive ashes.

SIMPLE SOUP SUPPERS

Wednesdays During Lent, Starting March 5

5:00-6:00 pm

On Wednesdays during Lent, we will again enjoy time to visit and wonderful soup! We will start at 5 pm.

We need your help! We need people to bring soup, a few kid-friendly foods, and we also need volunteers who will help set up (3 -5 pm) and people who will help serve and clean up (5-6 pm).

Please sign up at the link below. There are spaces to sign up for each week of Lent.

Our simple soup suppers offer the opportunity to share an offering with an organization doing good work in the world. This year, our free-will donations will go to Augusta Victoria Hospital, an ELCA Lutheran facility in East Jerusalam. Our Living Legacy Fund will match up to $2500 in donations collected to support the hospital.

From now through the end of March, we are collecting lightweight, dark colored bath towels and bars of soap for Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. Check out our display in the Gathering Space to learn more and pick up a shopping list! Monetary donations, labeled “Care Kits” are also appreciated to fund the purchase of combs and nail clippers.

Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits are distributed world-wide. The bundle includes a towel, two bars of soap, a comb, toothbrush, and nail clippers. Recently, personal care kits were distributed to victims of the California wildfires.

Mark your calendars for April 6 at 9:30 am, when we will have an assembly event—all are welcome to help!

The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) has launched a call for donations to support the churches and people of Ukraine, who are fleeing their homes and seeking shelter, basic necessities such as food and water, following Russia’s military invasion of the country.

Lutheran Church of the Resurrection will collect donations and forward to Lutheran World Federation. Check and cash donations can be dropped off at the church - please mark "Ukraine" in the memo. You can also donate online using our "Donate" button - select "Ukraine" in the dropdown; or Venmo to @resurrectionlutheran; comment "Ukraine."
