Imagine: It’s an ordinary weekday, and in the middle of your daily tasks, you stumble into a moment of prayer.
The street corner, the coffee shop, or some other ordinary place is suddenly a place where God has come to meet you.
The church has come out from behind the comfortable pews and doors to be in the places where the rubber meets the road.
It’s Ash Wednesday, and you’re invited to wear your ashes, to claim repentance, grace and deep relationship with God for the challenges of your daily life.
“Ashes to Go” is about bringing spirit, belief, and belonging out from behind church doors, and into the places where we go every day.
It’s a simple event with deep meaning, drawing on centuries of tradition and worship to provide a contemporary moment of grace.
Rick Parker will engage discussion about the work of the Colorado Haiti Project and how it allows us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what’s coming to you in this kingdom. It’s been ready for you since the world’s foundation. And here’s why:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.’
“Then those ‘sheep’ are going to say, ‘Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
Then the King will say, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.’
- The Message, Matthew 25:34-50
