Join us for an Ash Wednesday service at ResOakland as we begin the Lenten season. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a 40 day season of preparation for Easter. The ashes of Ash Wednesday remind us that we came from the dust and will return to the dust. They also point us to Jesus, who rose from the dead to deliver us from death. Join us for a special worship service where we will sing, read Scripture, pray, hear the gospel, and receive ashes as a sign of our need for Christ’s resurrection.

Before you took your first breath, God had already set you apart. You don’t have to chase purpose—you are purposed! Join us for a powerful time of encouragement, connection, and renewal as we walk boldly in the calling God has placed on our lives. Inspired by Jeremiah 1:5, this conference is a reminder that we are known, chosen, and created for His glory in our everyday lives.

We can’t wait to see you there! Childcare is available for ages 0-5, and registration for childcare closes on March 2nd at 5 PM (or when we reach capacity). Register and purchase merch here.
