First United Methodist Church will conduct a drive-thru Ash Wednesday service as it did last year, according to Rev. Brandi Rigsby, pastor.
This year Ash Wednesday is March 6. It marks the beginning of the Lenten season.
“Last year the congregation hosted a drive-thru Ash Wednesday service, and over 65 people participated in the imposition of ashes,” she said.
“We will, once again, host a drive-thru Ash Wednesday service that allows many to receive ashes and a blessing, who otherwise would not be able to attend a traditional Ash Wednesday service.”
