Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, a day observed by Christians as the beginning of the season of Lent. Pastor Maureen Howard of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Washington explains the ashes from last Palm Sunday are marked on foreheads tomorrow. The 40 days of Lent begins this week. Howard reminds listeners that Sundays are not part of the 40 day count.

Washington Area Ministry Association will be having Tuesday Lenten services with lunch at 11:45 a.m. and an area pastor giving a presentation from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church in Washington. For the full interview with Howard click here.
