Ash Wednesday
and
Lenten
Wednesday’s
at Our Savior’s
T heLentseason of Lent begins this month. This year Ash Wednesday is on February 17th and the season of
officially ends when the sun sets on Saturday, April 3rd, the night before Easter. Historically, we
do not count the Sundays in the Lenten season as a part of Lent, although the tone of worship on Lenten
Sundays tends to be a bit more somber than during the rest of the church year.
Lent has always been a period of preparation for living the Christian life. The practice of fasting and the
giving of alms (extra offerings) has been observed since apostolic times, although the practice was not
formalized until the First Council of Nicaea in 325 ad.
Repentance is at the core of both Lent and Christian living. Repentance was the first thing listed in Luther’s
95 Theses. During the season of Lent, we all become “penitents” with ashes on our foreheads. The ashen
cross is a reminder that we are mortal, and that we look forward to a life beyond the grave. The cross is a
sign of God’s reconciliation with us and with all creation. The absolution for the confession we make on
Ash Wednesday is technically on Maundy Thursday. In this way, the entire season of Lent is sort of like a
single worship service.
Ash Wednesday takes on a new meaning in 2021 due to the coronavirus. The coronavirus is sadly a daily
reminder of our mortality and of the preciousness and fragility of life.
This year on Ash Wednesday at Our Savior’s I (Pastor Rich Ajer) will be available from 10:00am - 5:00pm
at the church office to come out to your car for the imposition of ashes. I may also have an assistant. We
will say a prayer and impose (with masks in place) ashes with the familiar words, “Remember you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.” Anyone baptized is invited to receive ashes. If you prefer to come into the
pastor’s study to receive the ashes, that is fine, also.
At 6:00pm on Ash Wednesday (February 17th) the worship leaders and I will lead an online service with
music, prayers and a homily. Holy Communion will be done in the way we do it on Sundays. We will not
be setting up seating outside, however, if some of you wish to gather there and receive Holy Communion
outside at the end of the service, that is acceptable.
The remaining Wednesdays in Lent we will share a virtual soup supper and conversation at 5:30pm. I will
have a “get to know you” question, and we’ll go around and invite anyone who wishes to share an answer,
tell what soup they are enjoying, etc. Then at 6:00pm we will move into a brief 20 - 30 minutes of music, a
bible reading for the night, a short reflection, and prayer. This will replace; during the Lenten season the
Manna Bible Study. It will be done by ZOOM and a link will be sent out the day before by email. This
worship is accessible by both telephone as well as computer, so we hope you will choose to take part in the
gathering.
Next month, we will share plans for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter in the newsletter.

February 2021 Music Notes
In my work as a music therapist, I often organize my sessions around “themes” relating to calendar events.
February is a wealth of things to celebrate: Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Mardi Gras.…
The church will observe Ash Wednesday on Wednesday, February 17. You will more than likely NOT see
Ash Wednesday decorations at Walmart or Ash Wednesday cards at the Hallmark store. However, Ash
Wednesday is the start to Lent – 40 days of preparation before Holy Week and Easter.
Even though Ash Wednesday has not made the list of “popular” holidays in the sense of public celebrations, I
have had some memorable public experiences after our Ash Wednesday services. I remember several years
ago I went to a local gas station after our service. The young lady working at the mini-mart at 8:45 p.m. on a
Wednesday night looked at the ash cross on my forehead and broke into a smile. She said, “God Bless You”,
as she took my payment. Another year I had to stop and get some groceries on the way home from the service.
Again, people would look me in the eye and smile or say “God Bless You” as they passed me in the aisle.
Was I doing anything out of my ordinary shopping “routine”? No, but this visible sign of God in my life spoke
to others. This year, as with most things this past 11 months, our observance will look a little different.
However, we will still have the opportunity to receive ashes on our forehead. Even when wearing our masks,
this symbol of Lent will be visible.
I found a statement on a website www.buildfaith.org that I liked. It speaks to the unity that is created by a
ritual such as the imposition of ashes. It also mentions the unity created by song:
That is what Ash Wednesday does for all of us – young and old. It gives us a place to stand grounded and
rooted. And a little bit of song might just help us take down our medicine more easily. You may be an adult
singing in a formal service, or a child humming in a playroom – the truth is, “ashes, ashes, we all fall down.”
And the same loving Creator who formed us from the dust continues to hold us up in eternal love.
I look forward to the day when we can sing praises together. But until then, I am thankful for all that unifies
us, our rituals such as the imposition of ashes and our belief in our God.
In His service,
Karen Skipper,
Director of Music
The word “Lent” means “Spring”. Here is a “Coffee with Jesus” comic that talks about growing.
