We observe the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday, by receiving the Imposition of Ashes. In the Imposition, ashes are placed on our foreheads as we are reminded that we are dust and to dust we will return; this powerful reminder of our own mortality prepares us for the season of Lent.
To receive ashes, come to Pleasant Hill Community Church any time between 7 am and 6 pm, wearing a mask and observing social distancing.
