LOCAL CHURCH ASH WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE AT BOTTOM OF STORY -
Ash Wednesday, a century-old Christian tradition, becomes a new tradition in Bluffton this year, as the celebration to begin the season of Lent takes place on Wednesday, March 6.
From 7 to 9 a.m. a group of Bluffton area pastors will offer “Ashes to Go,” according to Rev. Karol Farris, pastor of Bluffton Presbyterian Church.
The idea behind the observance is this: Ashes to Go are offered because the reminders of need, humility, and healing shouldn’t be confined to church buildings.
