Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday Service and Spaghetti Dinner

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of mourning and repentance to God.

Ash Wednesday Spaghetti Dinner
Hosted by Fairfax American Heritage Girls Troop VA 1907
February 13th at 6 pm

Proceeds from donations to the dinner will help support the needy in our community. The dinner includes a choice of white or wheat pasta and meat or vegetarian sauce, garlic bread, salad and dessert. A gluten-free option is also available.

Reservations requested to help with planning. Call 703-815-6197 or email the troop by clicking here by Feb. 10 to reserve your spot.

Our Ash Wednesday service will follow the dinner at 7:30 pm
Everyone is welcome to attend!

Lent

Lent

 

 

Lent is a time to prepare for Easter.  United Methodists begin Lent on Ash Wednesday and continue celebrating Lent until Easter. We view Lent as a way to slow down and focus on God, so many Methodists will give up foods or activities during this time. The purpose of giving something up is to find more time to focus on God.

Here’s what Chuck Knows Church has to say about Lent.

Ever heard, “I’m giving up sweets for Lent”? Why does Lent make people want to give up something? And how do you calculate the 40 days of Lent?

Videos from Pender People Playing Piano

Pender Piano

The videos from Friday night’s Pender People Play Piano concert are posted at:

To play the videos, select one of the 3 thumbnails on the left then hit the play button in the larger preview on the right.  If I get time, I will add some titles to them since right now the thumbnails are black.

It will probably be later this weekend before I get the photos of the concert posted.

The Cross

Why the cross rather than the fish for the accepted Christian symbol? Do you know? And why are there two types of crosses. . .one in catholic churches and another in protestant churches?
