About the event

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lenten season of reflection and repentance. On this day we mark the sign of the cross on ourselves to be grounded in our mortality as we seek a more faithful life. Lent is an opportunity to go deeply into our hearts and the souls of our communities, and to recognize the depth of our estrangement from God.

Join us for:
- 7:00-8:00 a.m. drive-thru imposition of ashes at America Street.
- 12:10 and 6:30 p.m. Sanctuary services with imposition of ashes.
- 6:30 p.m. Mid City Ash service at Counterspace (Government St.)
