Ash Wednesday Liturgy and Ashes to Go February 14, 2024
On Ash Wednesday February 14, 2024 St. Mark’s is offering an Ash Wednesday Holy Eucharist service with imposition of ashes in-person and via Zoom and Ashes to Go. The worship service and Ashes to Go are free. Everyone is welcome.
Ashes are imposed (laid) on the heads of participants on Ash Wednesday as a sign of mortality and penitence. The ashes are imposed with the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 265). Ashes are typically imposed by inscribing a cross on the forehead. The imposition of ashes has been practiced on Ash Wednesday since the ninth century. Anyone who desires to receive them is welcome to do so.
The Ash Wednesday liturgy with imposition of ashes will be offered in the church sanctuary at 6:00PM in-person and via Zoom. Masks are optional. If you wish to participate via Zoom, please contact The Reverend Nancy Threadgill at revnancy-stmarks@atlanticbbn.net or (814) 535-6797 in advance of the service to obtain the login information.
If you do not have time to participate in an Ash Wednesday worship service, but would like to have ashes imposed on you, try our Ashes to Go in Central Park, downtown Johnstown. The Reverend Nancy Threadgill will be on hand to impose ashes from 8:00AM-10:00AM and 3:00PM-5:00PM
