ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of Lent occurring forty days (excluding
Sundays) before Good Friday. It is traditionally a time for worshippers to gather together
with penitent hearts to have their foreheads marked with a cross of ashes in an act of
penance and contrition before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, February 14 th at 7
PM. we will be having an Ash Wednesday worship celebration. This service will include
the marking of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a quiet time of reflection
at the altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday service, there will be something
“extra special” to illustrate God’s forgiveness of our sins. Special music will be provided
by the Chancel Choir. This will be a meaningful service and everyone is invited to attend.
ST. CUTHBERT CHURCH
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER
You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on
February 13 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday
originated during the Middle Ages. Food items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were
regarded as restricted during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families
would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on
Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as possible
before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption of all fats and fatty foods on
this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras.
ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES
You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert Episcopal church on
February 14 th at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All services have Holy Communion and the
imposition of ashes. The 4:30 PM service is designed for children and their families. Ash
Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection,
prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter.
LENTEN PROGRAM: NAVIGATING EMOTIONAL WELLNESS
Everyone is invited to the Lenten program: Navigating Emotional Wellness, which will
meet on Wednesday evenings beginning February 21 st , from 6:30-7:30 at St. Cuthbert
Church. We all experience the full range of emotions - happiness, frustration, fear, anger,
joy, sadness, awe, peace - emotions that are given to us by God. As our city recovers
from the trauma of Harvey, many of us have felt these emotions in new ways. Scripture
is filled with emotion, both God’s emotions as well as those of His people. Our emotions
influence our lives as they inform, motivate and guide us in what we do or don’t do, say
