CONNECT WITH US FOR THE SEASON OF LENT!

The season of Lent is a 40 day journey learning about the ministry of Jesus while he walked this earth. At the same time, we are invited to intentionally adopt disciplines that draw us closer to God and orient our lives in such a way that we learn to live our lives like Jesus - serving, loving, healing, and redeeming the broken world around us.

You can learn more about what Mountain Park UMC is offering throughout the season of Lent as well as learn more about our Holy Week and Easter events and services below!

The season of Lent begins with a special service called, “Ash Wednesday,” which has the focus of confession, forgiveness, and repentance as the first steps of beginning to draw ourselves closer to God. As a result, participants in this service come forward to receive an ashen-cross marked on their foreheads with the following phrase spoken, “Remember that your are dust and to dust you shall return. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Through this, we are invited to remember our mortality in light of Jesus’ redeeming love.

View our Ash Wednesday 2024 offerings below

**Wednesday, February 14, from 7:00 A.m. - 10:00 a.m. in the church parking lot in front of the church office**

Can’t make our evening service? No problem! We will be offering “Ashes To Go” in the morning. Drive up and be greeted by smiling faces as you receive ashes and prayer.

**Wednesday, February 14, 6:30 p.m. in the family life center**

This year, we’ll be worshipping through the singing of hymns and worship songs, prayer, and liturgy that will guide us into repentance and preparation for the Lenten season. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful service as we begin the season of Lent together!
