All Saints Dallas

Ash Wednesday

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A beautiful description of Lent from our own Ryan Flanigan of Liturgical Folk!

Time for our annual “What is Lent?” post—your friendly reminder to renounce and re-order your rhythms into Christ.
. . .
Lent simply means “springtime.” It is the season in the Christian year when followers of Jesus walk with him to his death and burial in order to participate fully with him in his resurrection. Lent is the forty days (not including Sundays) leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday). When we engage in this season the way faithful Christians have throughout the centuries, we renounce and re-order our rhythms into Christ.

Lent is about rhythm. We are rhythmic or liturgical creatures. We do things in sequences and steps, marching to the beats of drummers. The problem is, there are many drummers out there pounding away to capture our attention, calling us to follow them and submit to their stories. Lent is the Jesus-drum directing us back to the left-right-left of God's Story. If it is not Jesus' drum guiding our steps, it is someone else's drum. If it is not the Story of God to which we submit our lives, it is someone else's story.

Lent is a time for the church to renounce all the other stories we have let define us, and to submit singularly to God's Story. This is not a rote or robotic submission. Robots don't have hearts. We march to the beats of drummers because we actually love the music they play. We desire the life they present to us, and so we follow them. With every beat and step we are being formed into the image of the drummer we follow. This is why it is so important for us to get back in step with Jesus—we want to be like him.

In order to become like Jesus we re-order our life once again into the Story that defines us as his followers. During Lent we identify with the Story of Israel, which finds fulfillment in the Story of Jesus. We, like Israel, have fallen and wander around in the wilderness. And we, like Jesus, must wrestle in the desert of temptation. We enter into his sufferings. We fast. We pray. We simplify our lives. And we do so together as the body of Christ, full of the Holy Spirit, and for the glory of God our Father.

Remember to get your pancakes in tonight then join us for one of our three services tomorrow (8 am, 12 pm, 6 pm). Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes at all services, childcare available at 12 pm & 6 pm.

We are so excited about this beautiful music! Congrats to Liturgical Folk and our very own Ryan Flanigan on this moving and powerful 6th and final volume.

Would you like to get your hands on a Psalm Settings CD? Just follow this link to Bandcamp: https://liturgicalfolk.bandcamp.com/album/psalm-settings

You may think the way of the compact disc is ancient history, but we beg to differ. It is still arguably the most reliable data storage technology.

Plus, many of us can still play CDs in the car. Otherwise, they happen to make great coasters.
