Ashes to Go and Sacred Listening

Would you like to speak to someone? Maybe unburden something heavy? 

Do you need to vent about the church, any church? Do you want to question and explore ideas about God? 

Come to Ashes to Go and Sacred Listening on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00pm at the Hangar at Kenmore Square. 

This is at 6728 NE 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. 

Not only that, if you want, be marked with ashes!

We distribute ashes to remember that our lives are short. 

We don’t want to spend life burdened by guilt or remorse. 

Many Christian denominations observe Ash Wednesday at the beginning of the season of Lent, a time for truth and reconciliation. 

We examine our lives truthfully throughout Lent to take ownership of the times we have fallen short.

God understands and extends love, forgiveness, grace, and healing.
