Ash Wednesday begins Lent, a season of preparation for the most important days of the year for Christians — Good Friday and Easter. We are reminded of the effects of sin (“From dust you've come, and to dust you shall return”) and how, only because of Christ’s death, can those effects be reversed.

Citizens will be holding an Ash Wednesday Service at Sunset Church (at the CE Building across the street), marked by Scripture, prayer, silence, and song.
