Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday is a day in the Christian calendar when we remember our mortality.

We are marked with a sign of the cross on our foreheads in ashes, and told, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

This ritual marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a time to pare away all that is unnecessary and simplify our lives, that we might be better able to hear God’s

St. Lydia’s will be open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm to distribute ashes;

A short, meditative service with distribution of ashes will take place at 7:00

If you would like to help distribute ashes during the day or evening,

write Julia and let her know when you’re available.
