Ash Wednesday: February 18

, ,

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 18. This year we again have two opportunities for Ash Wednesday worship. The first is Ashes On the Go at Watermark Books.

Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton is at Watermark Books from 7-9 am to mark you with ashes as you start your day. This is an opportunity for you to share your faith both by wearing your ashes and by making a public witness at our neighborhood bookstore. It’s a come-and-go time, though you’re welcome to get some coffee and hang out for a while.

At 7 pm that evening, we gather in the Grace Sanctuary for an Ash Wednesday service that includes the imposition of ashes and Holy Communion. In addition the chancel choir sings.

February Yellow Bag Sunday

Each month, on the first Sunday, you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week or soon thereafter.

We’re doing something quite different for February. You’re invited to bring a pack of new men’s tube socks. We’ll take the socks to Interfaith Ministries so they can distribute them to guests at the overflow homeless shelter.

Thank you.
