Ash Wednesday

February 18, 2026

As we gather for Ash Wednesday, we begin the season of Lent with prayer, repentance, and renewed trust in God’s mercy. The music for this liturgy helps us reflect on conversion of heart and God’s faithful love, inviting us to listen deeply and sing prayerfully as a community. Even in the quiet and simplicity of this day, singing together unites us in prayer. As we receive ashes and begin our Lenten journey, let the music help open our hearts to God’s mercy and guide us toward renewal. Please join in singing as you are able, allowing these songs to become our shared prayer.
