Why Choose between Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day on February 14?
Nothing says "love" like deepening our relationship with the God who is love.
Lent begins at our Ash Wednesday worship service on February 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. The Broad Street Choir will sing. Communion will be served and there will be an opportunity to have ashes placed on your forehead. This service will be live-streamed to YouTube. Earlier in the day, from 12:00-1:00 p.m., ashes and a blessing will be offered in the Courtyard.
