“Jesus of Nazareth said, ‘The laborer deserves his wages.’ The church cannot be the church unless we get into the marketplace and insist that work is dignity, and that every employee, every worker deserves those benefits that enables them to indeed attain an abundant life that is full of the spiritual riches as well as the riches of bread.” – Holman’s late Pastor Emeritus, Rev. James M. Lawson Jr.

Holman UMC clergy and members will join Clergy and Labor United for Economic Justice (CLUE) for a special Ash Wednesday Service in solidarity with workers outside the Original Pantry Cafe in Downtown Los Angeles.

12:00 noon – Ash Wednesday Service on site in Johnson Chapel
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent, a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday emphasizes two themes: our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. The service focuses on both themes, helping us realize that both have been triumphed through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
All are welcome to join us for Ash Wednesday Service at noon in the Johnson Chapel or on YouTube.
