You might say I have one leg in the 'high' church tradition and one leg in the 'low' or free church tradition. I've come to appreciate the rhythm of the church year in the liturgical churches more in later years than when I was younger.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-29845001191827767772010-02-18T18:26:48.472-08:002010-02-18T18:26:48.472-08:00Being a United Methodist most of my life and now a...Being a United Methodist most of my life and now an Episcopalian, I LOVE these types of services. Ash Wed. Service has always been one of my favorite ones. Our church also burns their sins--which is very effective also. <br /><br />Glad you went!!!!<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-66398421464300859712010-02-18T11:51:40.573-08:002010-02-18T11:51:40.573-08:00I'm so glad you had and took the opportunity t...I'm so glad you had and took the opportunity to experience receiving ashes and that it was so meaningful to you. As a cradle Catholic, it is a significant service I "take to heart," yet it's also something we expect to participate in each year. After reading your blog and comments, I have a renewed appreciation for this and other services. So, it appears the benefits are far-reaching.Catherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-78465233178609963272010-02-18T10:13:51.047-08:002010-02-18T10:13:51.047-08:00I find the Ash Wednesday service to be very moving...I find the Ash Wednesday service to be very moving.

I do remember when i was 18, on my lunch hour I noticed the doors to the cathredral in Savannah Ga were standing open. I had never been in a Catholic church before and decided to enter. as i stood and stared at all the beauty and the soaring ceilings and stain glass with sun shining through, a feeling of peace came over me and i felt the prescence of God. thanks for this postMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-87111521145198224422010-02-17T23:27:39.479-08:002010-02-17T23:27:39.479-08:00It sounds like an interesting service.

None of the churches I have attend ever celebrated Ash Wednesday or Lent.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.com
