Have you ever noticed someone at Kroger's or even the gas station that seems to have a major smudge on their forehead? You are trying not to stare, while at the same time wondering if they got into an altercation with their fire place. Then it dawns on you, it's Ash Wednesday! Ash Wednesday is a holy encounter with the reality of our morality! It's a spiritual practice that reminds us that "from dust we have come and to dust we shall return." Many find this spiritual discipline very moving, that's why this year we want to give you as many opportunities as possible to experience Ash Wednesday at Shiloh! We will continue to have traditional Ash Wednesday Services on Wednesday March 5, 7pm at both our Delhi and Price Hill locations, but we will also be traveling to The Refuge Coffee Bar for the imposition of Ashes during the day. Our pastoral staff will be at Refuge from 6am-8am and 11am-1pm on Wednesday, March 5, for Ashes and a free cup of coffee. Everyone is welcome, even those who plan on attending the evening services. This is a great way for us to get into the community and to offer this spiritual practice to a maximum number of people!
The Refuge is located at 5010 Glenway Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45238.
So come and remember "from dust you have come and to dust you shall return!"
Blessings,
Pastor Rachel
