Join Us for a Combined Ash Wednesday Service

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 6:00 PM

Starling Avenue Baptist Church Sanctuary

Shared Service with

Starling Avenue Baptist Church, Chatham Heights Baptist Church, & First Baptist Church, Martinsville

We will gather with our sister churches to begin the Season of Lent through the worship of God and the imposition of ashes. Join us as we prepare our hearts to walk alongside Jesus in this season of growth as we head to the cross, and ultimately to Easter morning.

Why Ash?

Ash Wednesday emphasizes a dual encounter: We confront our own mortality & confess our sin before God within the community of faith. The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship, and the Imposition of Ashes can be a powerful nonverbal and experiential way of participating in the call to repentance and reconciliation.
