Ashes to Go
7 to 9 a.m., Wednesday, February 26
This Wednesday, St. Clare’s will offer Ashes to Go in our parking lot from 7 to 9 a.m.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. St. Clare’s observes this day by imposing ashes on one another’s foreheads as a reminder of our mortality and the need all people continually have to renew their faith and repentance. We’ll hold Ash Wednesday worship services at noon and 6 p.m., but we know that many people are busy and cannot attend church on a weekday. Thus, we offer you this opportunity to drive into our parking lot between 7 and 9 a.m. Wednesday morning and receive ashes during your morning commute: to pause, to mark our mortality, and to celebrate the blessings of this life, even in the midst of a busy day.
Ash Wednesday

St. Clare’s will offer Ash Wednesday services at noon and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, February 26. We traditionally gather for a lunch of soup and bread after the noon service. All are welcome! Bring a pot of soup or a loaf of bread to share.
Book Study During Lent
Entering the Passion of Jesus is the title of this year’s Lenten program offered by the Adult Faith Formation commission. Written by Amy-Jill Levine, professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School, the program guides us through the last days of the life of Jesus by means of readings and lectures. The material is very accessible yet rich in historical material that enriches the religious and spiritual meaning of the Passion. We will meet in the adult lounge at 7 pm, Wednesdays, March 4 through April 8.
