Ash Wednesday Services
Capital Area Episcopal Churches offer several opportunities for observing the First Day of Lent.
On Ash Wednesday, February 17, the Liturgy of the Day will be celebrated in Augusta at St. Mark's Church (9 Summer Street, Augusta) at 12:15 pm, and at St. Barnabas' Church (60 Bangor Street, Augusta) at 6:00 pm. In Hallowell the Liturgy will be celebrated at St. Matthew's Church (20 Union Street, Hallowell) at 7:00 pm.
The Season of Lent is the 40-day season of penitential preparation for Holy Week and the Festival of the Resurrection of Christ. The blessing and imposition of ashes highlight both the shortness of human life and humility before the graciousness of God. Lent is observed as a time for self-examination and repentance, prayer, fasting, self-denial, and meditation. Seekers and explorers are invited to join us in the process.
For more information, please contact St. Marks Episcopal Church office at 622-2424.
