From Pr. Hendry’s sermon:

Our reading is Joel 2:12-19
Ash Wednesday is the beginning
of repentance for our failures
before God
as we make ready to celebrate
Jesus’ victory over our sins.
The prophet Joel calls us
to gather and discover that
the LORD our God is
gracious and merciful,
slow to anger,
abounding in steadfast love.
Hear the call, like the sound of a trumpet,
Hear the Word, confess our sins,
receive the Body and Blood of our Lord,
receive God’s forgiveness.
