Well in my last post I promised to load up pics of Ash Wed once we received them and here we go -
We started with the youngest - and they all marched up without a hitch.
Gradually we progressed to the older grades and one by one, they received ashes and their blessing, 'repent and believe the Gospel'
Until we finally reached the sixth graders (the big kids), and they too received their ashes.
Special thanks to Mastic Point Primary school for passing these pics along to me.
We had 117 kids that day, from pre-K to grades 6 - and you should hear them sing! Fantastic.
We pray this little service touches them and their parents.
I would love to have been a fly an the wall when these kids reached home with an ashen cross on all their foreheads. :)
Till next time
