On Ash Wenesday, we will venture out to the streets (Union Square and Madison Square Park) to offer ashes and prayer on Ash Wednesday. This will be our third year and it is a remarkable experience. In years past, by the end of the day, we had anointed and prayed with 900+ people. This year, we will have an even greater presence!
