Churches find creative ways to observe Ash Wednesday, Lenten season

From Oklahoma-

Not daunted by the chilly temperatures that occurred on Ash Wednesday 2013, a local Episcopal rector and deacon stood in the parking lot at their church to offer the congregation an opportunity to participate in the observance in an unusual way.

The Rev. Joseph Alsay, rector of St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church, said he will once again offer “Ash and Dash” on Wednesday at 14700 N May.

The Ash Wednesday initiative is a new approach to a centuries-old Christian ritual and one of the more creative ways that some area churches are observing the Lenten season.
