The Williston Federated Church will be holding our Ash Wednesday Service on February 17th, starting at 6:00pm. This marks the beginning of the Lenten season.
The worship service will be livestreamed via Facebook.com/Williston Federated Church.
Because we will be worshipping remotely, the "imposition of ashes" will occur differently. You may self-administer ashes by placing ashes in your hand or on your forehead, or invite someone in your household to do so.
Ashes can be made from lighting and then extinguishing a candle, using the ashes from the burnt wick, potting soil, wood or pellet stove ashes, or any other creative ways.
Ash Wednesday is a service when we reflect on our own mortality. This year our service will include the recorded ringing of our church bell 50 times, once for every 10,000 Americans who have died from Covid-19.
Please join us in this service with somber tones, yet spiritually uplifting.
