What can I say? The Ash Wednesday service at Harvest Church was great. Actually, this was the very first time I had ever participated in such a service. It was a moving experience to acknowledge and recognize what Jesus did for us on the cross; however, it was also powerful to reflect on my own mortality. Roy Rogers told the story of the crucifixion of Jesus. Then everyone was invited to nail their names upon wooden crosses standing in the worship center. Each worshiper then knelt at the altar as a minister smeared ashes on their foreheads in the form of a cross. As the minister did this, he pronounced, "From ashes you came, to ashes you will return. Remember Jesus." If you have not already done so, now would be a great time to kneel, wherever you are, and reflect upon the death of Jesus and your own mortality.

It was a great service. Pastor Roy did a great job telling the story of Jesus. He has a great delivery for a service like that. It was like we were right there with Jesus. Pastor Roy is a precious man of God, and his wife, Sallie, is a precious woman of God. Martha and I love them very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian for ministering last night during the service. You, Sean and Roy all did a great job. Martha and I are so thankful to be part of Harvest and the marvelous work God is doing through Harvest.
I love you Bro!
