Creative Church will gather on a special day to spend time in artistic reflection on Ash Wednesday, the start of the Christian season of Lent.

All are invite to create with ashes from the comfort of your home, as we mark our foreheads and our papers and reflect on the fragility of our mortality

“A few wise words echoing through Ash Wednesday urge me to deeper things:
renewed dedication,
constant compassion
and mindful awareness.
I leave marveling at how simple and sublime is this envelope of the soul, which one day return to dust, dust, only dust.”
-Joyce Rupp

Due to COVID-19, Churches are being asked to not implement ashes on individuals foreheads to help stop the spread. So we are adapting and will provide you with your own blessed ashes to use during our Creative Church worship (you may also make your own at home).

We will utilize ashes in our worship, so please let us know if you would like us to send/get you some! Or you can use ashes from your fireplace or by burning a piece of paper carefully!

Come and reflect & prepare your heart creatively for the Lenten Season with our earth provided materials: ash.

Please email info@echoesbellingham.org to request your blessed ashes!
