Our Ash Wednesday service is tonight at 6 PM. While we do not impose ashes in our service (click here for an explanation), it is still a somber service. You’ll notice that I refer to it in the bulletin as “A Service of Commination and Repentance.” A commination is a threat of punishment and denunciation of sin. Though we confess our sins and seek God’s forgiveness together every Lord’s Day, repentance is the main theme of this service. So as you come tonight, take the opportunity to consider the ways in which you may need to repent. What sins have you been hiding or ignoring? What temptations beset you? Tonight is a special opportunity to bring those sins and temptation to the Lord, seeking his help.
Your friend in Christ,
Reid
