Ash Wednesday

God offers " forgiveness and release"
— Pastor Hannah Brown

Release from the times you forgot the needy
Release from the times you forgot the homeless
Release from the times you kept walking

Release from those times
I failed to hear God's voice

Release from not accepting God's forgiveness
and continuing to mull over the past,
the words said, the actions taken

Release from the times you forgot the Good News
Release from the times you tuned out
and forgot the gift of forgiveness

And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten...
Joel 2:25
