What is Ash Wednesday?
The first of the forty days of Lent, named for the custom of placing blessed ashes on the foreheads of worshipers at Ash Wednesday services. The ashes are a sign of penitence and a reminder of mortality. Ash Wednesday is observed as a fast in the church year of the Episcopal Church. The Ash Wednesday service is one of the Proper Liturgies for Special Days in the BCP (p. 264). – EpiscopalChurch.org

How Are Youth Involved?
Members of the Youth Group are pictured here burning last year’s palm branches for this year’s Ash Wednesday Service. They will also be our primary worship leaders for the 7 PM service!
