ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE @ NOON (Online - Zoom)

(Service begins on pg 364 in the BCP)

*Drive-by "Ashes to Go" will be offered in the church parking lot from 1pm-2pm on that day...

*There will also be ashes available for pick up on the See House porch table, in a small baggie, for those who would like to impose the ashes with the sign of a cross on your own forehead (while looking in a mirror?), or for another household member...

(***if you are unable to pick up ashes at the church, Bishop Mark also suggested that you might make your own ashes to use at home, by burning your palm from Palm Sunday last year, or some other plant/branch that has significance)

Prayer to use for imposition of ashes at home (BCP 265)
Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the
earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our
mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is
only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life;
through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

The ashes are imposed with the following words

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
