Teams of GA members offer ashes and prayer on Ash Wednesday to hundreds of people: at church, at Union Square, on the street, even in a local pub!
Written by Paul Miller

It was Ash Wednesday.
We walked out onto 22nd Street and were greeted by a crisp, sunny, February afternoon. There were five us on this sojourn to Union Square Park to offer ashes and prayer for anyone seeking the blessing of God. A team of two members remained at the church to offer the same.
As we headed toward
Lexington Avenue, we got
a few inquisitive looks. A
woman with bright green
hair nearly gasped at the
site of four people in
robes and stoles, wearing
large crosses while walking down the street.
