- **Event Name**: Ash Wednesday Evening Service and Ashes on the Go with Saint Matthew
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season that invites us to slow down, tell the truth about our lives, and make space for what matters most. On Wednesday, February 18, at 7:00 pm, we invite you to an experiential Ash Wednesday service designed to meet you exactly where you are. This will be a reflective, embodied evening with communion, the imposition of ashes, spoken blessing, and several prayer stations meant to help ground your Lenten journey in honesty, grace, and hope. You are welcome whether Lent is deeply familiar or completely new to you.

Earlier that day, we will also offer Ashes on the Go for those who cannot join us in the evening or who wish to mark the day in the midst of ordinary life. Rustin and Mike will be outside the Orchard Starbucks from 12:00–3:00 pm, offering ashes and a brief blessing for anyone who would like to pause, receive, and remember. However you choose to participate, this day is an invitation to begin Lent with intention, tenderness, and trust in God’s love that meets us in dust and breath alike.
