Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday Service
Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 6:00 P.M.
Service we be outdoors to promote social distancing if weather permits.
 
You are invited to bring a container of soil/dirt from your yard, garden, or farm to Ash Wednesday. If you do not have a yard, please let us know and we will gather some dirt from the church grounds.
You will be asked to place your hands in the dirt and hold it during prayer. This container of soil is to remain with you throughout Lent and into Holy Week.
During Lent 2021, you will be encouraged to tend the soil in that container. Such tending could include placing a cross in that soil or a picture of a loved one gone. You may also plant a seed in the soil/ground (“unless the seed dies”) to indicate that our Lenten journey is taking us to Easter Spring. This tending time is also a chance for us to be creative with other suggestions on how to tend the soil, realizing the tending of soil metaphor serves as a reminder that we are dust and from the earth, and we will return to the ground. Since you will be collecting soil, you have gone directly to the source, to the ground. Your collecting of dirt also serves as a metaphor for encouraging spiritual growth and maturity in the Christian faith.

Fred Smith Switzer, Jr.

Dearest Friends in Christ!

You may have already received the news that our faithful and loving servant Fred Switzer has transitioned from this world to his heavenly home yesterday afternoon, Thursday, October 29, 2020.  

Fred joined First United Methodist – Taylor in 1975. He was not only active in the church, but held multiple roles and served in all of our church committees for many years, including Lay Leader and Lay Servant Speaker. He was truly a servant of Christ. 

Let us give thanks to God for Fred’s life and the time we were privileged to know and serve alongside him. We are grateful and blessed to have known Fred and his faithfulness to his family, friends, community, and the church. 

Please keep Fred’s family and many friends in your prayers.
