The practice of repentance and confession isn't just for adults. Even young children can name things they do and say that keep them from being who they are supposed to be. Beginning the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday practices is an ancient practice that has nurtured Christian formation for over a thousand years. However, we also know that family schedules are difficult to negotiate. So in 2015, on February 18th we will offer several self guided Ash Wednesday prayer stations.
These centers/stations will include:
- the Burning of Sins,
- Ashes to Go
- Biblical Story and
- Weaving of prayers.
These stations are come-and-go as you need, they do not need to be encountered in any particular order, and they do not require the ability to read. That said they are meaningful for people of all ages. The prayer stations will be open after school until just before the evening liturgy.
