Celebrate Ash Wednesday at Covenant Presbyterian Feb. 14, 7 p.m.

Covenant Presbyterian Church will begin the Lenten Season on Wednesday, Feb. 14, with a casual supper at 6 p.m. followed by a solemn Ash Wednesday worship service in the chapel at 7 p.m. “The 30-minute service will include music by Covenant’s choir and the imposition of ashes,” said Rev. Dr. Richard Hill, senior pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church. “The service calls forth our need for humility and repentance, as we hear the words of Genesis 3:19, Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return”. Ash Wednesday ushers in the 40 days of Lent, where Christians are encouraged to study and reflect on their faith. Lent will culminate in a joyful Easter worship service, Sunday, April 1.

The cost for the Ash Wednesday soup and salad supper is $3, and attendees must reserve their meals in advance by calling (404) 237-0363.
