Gather for a worshipful observance of Ash Wednesday with readings, songs and prayers offered on-line. Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer and fasting. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence and preparation before Easter Sunday. Ash Wednesday is traditionally observed by Western Christians. This service is hosted by Brian Martin Burkholder, Carmen Schrock-Hurst, and Kevin Clark (Campus Ministries and Seminary).
