Eastern Synod-Wide Ash Wednesday Worship

Dear friends,

Bishop Michael and his Assistants are deeply looking forward to gathering with you for our Synod-Wide Livestreamed Ash Wednesday Service on February 17, 2021 at 6:30pm on the Eastern Synod Facebook Page.

All worship materials have now been uploaded to the Eastern Synod Website. This includes a Worship Guide and a print version of Bishop Michael’s sermon.

Those gathered for this unique Synod-Wide worship opportunity will be invited to impose their own ashes, or make a sign of the cross using water or simply their finger.

The livestream will begin 15 minutes in advance of the service. A recording will also be available on the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ESynodELCIC/ for those who may wish to view the service after the livestream has ended. Thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church, New Hamburg for sharing your gifts of space, technology, and skills to make this synod-wide opportunity possible!
