On Ash Wednesday, Bishop Michael and his Assistants invite you to gather for an Eastern Synod-Wide Livestreamed Worship Service at 6:30pm EST (7:30pm AST).
Those gathered for this unique Synod-Wide worship opportunity will be invited to impose their own ashes (if ashes have been provided by their local congregation), or make a sign of the cross on their own forehead.
All worship materials (including a copy of Bishop Michael’s sermon), livestream links, and other resources will be available one week in advance (https://easternsynod.org/ash-wednesday/). Resources may be reproduced and shared with those who do not have access or the ability to participate in mediated worship. A recorded version of worship will also be available after the livestream has ended.
Bishop Michael and Pastors Christie, Doug and Adam look forward to gathering with you as we begin the season of Lent.
