Ash Wednesday Service at Covenant Presbyterian Church

Covenant Presbyterian Church in Buckhead will begin the
Lenten Season with an Ash Wednesday service in the chapel on Wednesday, March 5
at 7 p.m.  The solemn service focuses on
our mortality and desire for repentance, and will include music and the
imposition of ashes.  For many Christian
denominations, Ash Wednesday is the traditional beginning of Lent, culminating
in the joyful Easter celebration.

The church will also host a casual soup and salad supper at
6 p.m., prior to the Ash Wednesday service. 
The cost is $3 and participants are asked to RSVP in advance to (404)
237-0363.  Free parking is available on the top deck of the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center immediately south of the church.

About Covenant

world”.  The church is a member of
Presbyterian Church (USA) and is led by Dr. Ernie Hess, senior pastor, and Dr.

community moved to its present location at 2461 Peachtree Road in Buckhead, where it
holds Sunday morning and evening worship services.

Today, Covenant is home to a welcoming congregation that
seeks, serves and celebrates together. 
The church boasts a lively youth group, hands-on mission work, a women’s
