Ash Wednesday: Drive-thru ashes

From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin the season of Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The reminder that we are dust turns our attention to the creative power of God, and God’s ability to heal the brokenness in our lives when we offer our brokenness to God.

We are offering ashes on the street today because the reminder of our needs, our humility, and our healing should not be confined to a church building. The ashes we receive here are to remind us throughout the day of our need for God, and of God’s love for us.

We believe God meets us where ever we are, in the midst of everyday life. We are grateful you have chosen to share a portion of your day with us.
