Hope Lutheran Church, Saint Paul

(gathered via Zoom for live online worship)

Ash Wednesday

 

Mark 6:1-6, 16-21

Ash Wednesday feels different on Zoom. This year we incorporated the imposition of ashes and also an anointing into a unique two-part sermon-and-ritual.

You can participate in the ritual parts by using ash or an ash substitute - dirt, dust, washable marker, flour, whatever - as well as some olive oil for the anointing.

Mark 1:21-28

Paul says don't eat meat! I haven't had meat since 2001. Ha! Just kidding. The decisions we make do affect others, and our faith calls us to act with responsibility toward our neighbors.

Also, I apologize first for this being a week late, secondly for accidentally recording into the following hymn, and thirdly for not figuring out how to edit that out.
