This week, it was my privilege to join with our own Pastor Steph Cramer and Epworth UMC’s Pastor Nina Patton-Semerod for a sacred Lenten tradition: gathering last year’s palm leaves, burning the palms to ash, mixing the ashes with oil, and offering the mark ashes to the gathered faithful.
It’s such an important part of the ritual of Lent, and I’m so grateful to share these moments with such wonderful colleagues in ministry.
