Ash Wednesday Service - Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani
Introduction
Welcome to the Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani Ash Wednesday Service in 2020. We invite you to join our vibrant community for a deeply meaningful and introspective experience on this sacred day.
What is Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of reflection and penance leading up to Easter. It is an important observance for Christians worldwide, symbolizing the mortality and repentance of human beings.
The Significance of Ashes
During the Ash Wednesday service, ashes are applied to the foreheads of believers in the shape of a cross. These ashes are a reminder that "you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). It is a solemn moment, encouraging individuals to reflect on the brevity of life and the need for spiritual renewal.

At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we embrace the diversity of our congregation. Our Ash Wednesday service is open to everyone who seeks a deeper connection with their faith.

Exploring Faith and Beliefs
Our community firmly believes in the power of collective worship and the importance of spiritual growth. During the Ash Wednesday service, our dedicated clergy will guide you through scripture readings, prayers, and reflection. It is an opportunity to recenter your faith and realign your priorities.
Commemorating Sacrifice
Ash Wednesday is a time to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for the redemption of humanity's sins. Through prayer and contemplation, we remember the ultimate sacrifice and strive to emulate His perfect love.
Embracing Change
Lent is not only a period of reflection but also a time for personal transformation. As we journey towards Easter, we encourage individuals to develop spiritual disciplines, engage in acts of service, and deepen their relationships with God and others. The Ash Wednesday service serves as a catalyst for change and growth.
