The meaningful, 40-day season of Lent starts this week with Ash Wednesday. We celebrate Easter — Resurrection Day — this year on April 5, but before that, many Christians around the world take this time to fast, pray, reflect on Christ’s suffering, and prepare our hearts to rejoice in the resurrection. Faith & Liberty will be participating in the Ash Wednesday service on Capitol Hill.

Would you show your support for the many ways Faith & Liberty actively supports from Capitol Hill all that God is doing in our nation? We appreciate your faithful prayers and financial gifts that help Faith & Liberty thrive as we serve as your missionaries in our nation's capital.

Many will walk out of that special service with the sign of the cross in ashes on their forehead. As they are marked with these ashes, a sign of mortality and repentance, they will hear a pastor say, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” or something similar.

Our Creator made us out of the dust of the earth. Through this quiet time of the year, we reflect on who we are and who He is. As Romans 11:36 reminds us, “For from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”

For Faith & Liberty, this is a special time to relate to both our Catholic and Protestant friends on Capitol Hill. Please pray with us for meaningful, Christ-centered conversations during this Lenten season.

We also look forward to sending you our “Countdown to the Resurrection” devotional readings, so please check your inbox for those emails to come soon. These brief readings will add to this special season in which we meditate on Christ’s death and resurrection. For now, please see our updates and prayer requests below, and we leave you with many blessings!
