Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday

Join us for
 the beginning of Lent


Ash Wednesday Holy Communion
with Imposition of Ashes Service
Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 7pm
This service sets the tone for the season of Lent, as we receive the ashes from Palm Sunday's palm branches in the form of a cross on our foreheads, reminding us of our mortality, our fickleness, and our need for the Savior.

For more about the ashes, see this blog post.



And don't forget, the day before, 
Shrove Tuesday pancake supper
Tuesday, Feb. 25
5:30-7 pm
with traditional pancakes 
& buckwheat pancakes with sausage gravy!
If you didn't know...Bethany has a unique pancake tradition.  In addition to traditional pancakes, Bethany also serves (savory) buckwheat pancakes with sausage gravy - a tradition from the time when the Winebarger family used to bring fresh-milled buckwheat flour from their mill.
