DESCRIPTION:ASH WEDNESDAY\, FEBRUARY 18TH\, 7PM\nAsh Wednesday is the first
  day of the season of Lent. This year Ash Wednesday is on February 18th. A
 sh Wednesday marks the beginning of preparation for the understanding of t
 he death and resurrection of Christ. We will hold a service at 7 pm. Dur
 ing the service we are reminded of our mortality. We also will have ashes 
 placed on our foreheads or hands. In the Bible\, sprinkling oneself with a
 shes was traditionally a sign of one's sorrow for having committed sins. T
 he particular symbolism of ashes for this day comes from a practice in the
  Roman Catholic churches in which the ashes from the palms used in the pre
 ceding year's Palm Sunday celebration are burned and blessed. With these a
 shes\, the priest on the first day of Lent marks a cross on the forehead o
 f each worshiper. This practice has become a part of Ash Wednesday service
 s in many United Methodist churches. Here at Morgan Hill UMC our ashes are
  not from our palms\, but they still hold significance for us as we begin 
 the season of reflection and self-examination.
