Ash Wednesday


We hope you can be with us for worship & communion this Wednesday at 6:30pm at Bellwether’s Fondren Space.
This is our traditional Ash Wednesday service, marking the beginning of Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter.  Again, it will open this special time of year with worship, communion, and a message of:  ”The Marks of the Cross.”
It will also lead into the launch of our Lenten campaign on Sunday Feb 26th of:  Utter Dependence, Prayer and Fasting.  Over the next 40 days in Lent we will be preaching, studying, and living out prayer & fasting at Bellwether.  This week, we hope you will commit to go to God more in prayer over Lent (we are challenging people to pray 30 minutes a day – not necessarily all at once), and even consider fasting one day a week.
Why are we doing this?  Simple.  To be utterly dependent on God.  And it begins with prayer.  We want to empty ourselves and let Christ fill our lives, our families, our church, and our world.  This is possible.  Yet it’s only possible when we come to Him in humble, utter dependence.
We hope to see you Wed night at 6:30pm to begin this time.  We are asking all B Groups to join us for this service so we can be united as a church body and move forward over the next 40 days in utter dependence on God.  
Looking forward to all Lent will bring us and we hope to see you Wednesday evening.
