Starting in 2017 Redeemer partnered with Christ the King Lutheran Church on Ash Wednesday to provide a new service, ‘Ashes to Go’. Located mostly at Redeemer Lutheran Church on the corners of Main and Chapin Streets, the walk-up or drive-up service allows those who can’t find the time, or are unable to attend a service to receive a Lenten prayer and ashes. Bag lunches, Bibles, and prayer hearts are also available to the community.
“We’re here to give ashes to anyone driving or walking by that would like to have them as a way to start the Lenten season.”
