Experience Ash Wednesday at 1st Presbyterian, 1st Baptist, TOMOROW

A pair of Midland congregations will join together once again this year, to mark Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the Lenten season that will bring us to Easter Sunday,

From 12:00-12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, there will be a brief penitential service of scripture, prayer and the imposition of ashes in the Chapel of First Presbyterian Church-Midland, at the northwest corner of Texas and A streets, on the west side of downtown Midland.

From 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Wednesay, there will be a full service in the Worship Center of First Baptist Church-Midland, at the corner of Garfield Street and Louisiana Avenue, just a few blocks north of Midland Memorial Hospital.

As an added consideration for those with young children, who wish to attend the service at First Baptist, the nursery at First Presbyterian will open at 5:30 for ages 0-3 years old. Dinner for children (nursery, children, junior high youth) will be at 5:30 pm in First Presbyterian’s Lynn Hall. They will be providing a meal of chicken strips, fried cheese sticks, fruit, tater tots, and cookies. If you prefer something different or if your child is too young for these foods, please send something appropriate.
