Ash Wednesday is the start of the

Lenten journey of 40 weekdays

(Monday through Saturday) that takes

the church to the eve of Easter. Sundays

are not included in the count of 40 days,

as they are "little Easter" celebrations.

Lent is primarily about identifying with

and accompanying those who are being

led by the Spirit to make the wilderness

journey — toward baptism, toward reconciliation,

toward peace. The worship

celebration of Ash Wednesday is a service

of reflection, repentance, forgiveness,

journeying. We enter. We pray. We

read Scripture. We respond with the

imposition of ashes. We are invited to

the altar, confess our sins, and make

peace with one another and with God.

We are sent forth to serve. Christ

United Methodist Church, 511 Russell

Parkway, Warner Robins. 922-0211.

aneurysm (enlargement) in the abdominal

aorta that could lead to a ruptured

aortic artery.

Disease or PVD in the lower extremities
