ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
February 13, 2013
12:00 noon
Chapel
You are invited to join us for a simple service of prayer and the imposition of the ashes as we begin the season of Lent. Psalm 51 reads: ”Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” As we receive the ashes, we open our hearts to be fashioned anew. It is a privilege and a joy to walk the path toward Easter together, as we listen together for the still-speaking God in our midst.

Twenty three of us from FCC and seventeen Casa residents combined our voices to sing Christmas Carols last Sunday. We were treated to special music by Annette Howitt and Carol Chivers and by Jessica McDermott who led us in a special rendition of Rudolph as she “signed” the song for us.
