Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. This Ash Wednesday, following Diocesan guidelines and physical distancing measures, a member of the clergy is unable to impose ashes on your forehead. However, in the Lent-to-Go bag you will find a small container of blessed ashes that can be used to mark your own forehead and others in your home. Included in your Lent-to-Go bag are also prayers that you can say before, during, and after your place ashes on the forehead. Join us at the 6:00 PM online Ash Wednesday Service where there will be a time that you can impose ashes on yourself. Links to watch the online service and download the bulletin will be on the our homepage www.stmikeschurch.com.
