leading up to Holy Week and Easter. This year, Ash Wednesday is February 14th.
(Yes, Valentine’s Day!) We’ll have a couple opportunities to observe the start of
Lent.
Early risers can drive up to the church entrance between 6:00am and 9:00am and
receive an Imposition of Ashes (the mark of The Cross) from your car. You can also
park and step into the church to light a candle and pray for peace.
For folks who wish to spend a contemplative time with others, there will be a short
service in the Sanctuary (and livestreamed) at 7:00pm.
