Friends,

You are invited to a special 12 PM Ash Wednesday service at the Church of the Beatitudes UCC at 555 W. Glendale Ave, Phoenix, 85021 (SE corner of Glendale and 7th Aves).  This year Ash Wednesday falls on February 14th, Valentines Day.  Our own Pastor Dick Wing will be leading the noon service, which will feature talented Church of the Beatitudes musicians, a meditative message from Dick, and the imposition of ashes.  Come out to join your UCC brothers and sisters from another congregation for a meaningful worship experience that begins the church season of Lent, which is a preparatory time of forty days before Easter.  The noon service will still allow for your evening Valentine’s Day celebrations!  

Also, mark you calendars now for March 29 at 12 PM for Good Friday worship, also at the Church of the Beatitudes.  We will provide more details about that noontime service in the coming weeks.   

May your Lenten season be blessed,

Co-Pastor Sandi
