This year churches had to be a little more creative with how they held their Ash Wednesday services. Officially known as the Day of Ashes, it is a day of repentance, when Christians confess their sins and profess
their devotion to God. The ashes symbolize both death and repentance. During this period, Christians show repentance and mourning for their sins, because they believe Christ died for them. Bergstrasse Evangelical
Lutheran Church and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church are two local churches that held parking lot services on Ash Wednesday last week. Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Pastor Mark
