Season of Lent to begin Wednesday

The Cone United Methodist Community Church will observe Ash Wednesday at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21, the first day of the Season of Lent.
The name comes from the ancient practice of imposing ashes on worshippers' foreheads as a sign of humility before God.

This service will be joined with the Los Molinos United Methodist Church.

At 6 p.m. every Wednesday after Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday when we conclude the Vigil.

The church sanctuary will be open to those who wish to come and spend some time in prayer and meditation.
There will be music and some readings from the scripture. The sanctuary will be open for an hour.

Palm Sunday will be remembered at 9 a.m. on Sunday, April 1.

Worshippers will experience the procession with Palm branches while shouting our loudest Hosannas!

Holy Thursday will be observed at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, with a communion worship service. The sharing of the Eucharist or the sacrament of thanksgiving on Maundy Thursday is the way some Christians observe this day.

Easter Sunday will be celebrated at 9 a.m. on Sunday, April 8. The Lenten vigil concludes with Easter Worship Service with a Paschal Candle Lighting Ceremony.
