Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in the Episcopal Church—a season of prayer, repentance, and renewal. In this service, we remember our humanity and our hope as ashes are imposed with the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Grounded in scripture and the prayers of the Book of Common Prayer, Ash Wednesday invites us to turn again toward God’s mercy, preparing our hearts for the journey to Easter. All are welcome to come, reflect, and begin Lent together.
