A US church is offering a drive-thru Ash
Wednesday blessing for parishioners who might be pressed for time.
The Rev. Patricia Anderson Cook of Mt. Healthy United Methodist
Church in Ohio plans to provide the service for people of all faiths
and services.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Christian season of
Lent, which concludes after 40 days with the celebration of Easter.
The Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper reports that the service is
aimed as well at people who might be intimidated walking into a church.
The church is also offering a more traditional Ash Wednesday service indoors. (nvn)
