Ash Wednesday Service

February 18, 2026

Sanctuary at 7:00 pm

We're holding a traditional Ash Wednesday Service with music, message and imposition of ashes. Enter this Lenten Season with a heart seeking our Savior.

Daytime Imposition of Ashes

7:00 - 9:00 am - Starbucks, 3622 Cobb Pkwy (near Walmart)   

12:00 -1:30 pm - Sanctuary

We invite you to receive your imposition of ashes earlier in your day to publicly proclaim your faith and our humanity. We can be tangible, living examples of  humble, penitent, loving Christians. Christians more willing to accept our own sin than to point out the sins of others. It's powerful. Sacred. Meaningful. Life-changing.

Join us on Ash Wednesday.
