During Lent, we try to show that we are friends with God in different ways. Today we admit that sometimes we don’t live like friends of God. Sometimes we forget about God and hurt other people by the things we do and say. Today we will put ashes on our heads as a sign that we are sorry.

  5. Scripture Reading Joel 2:12-15 A Call to Repentance Even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing— grain offerings and drink offerings for the LORD your God. Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
