18-Feb-2026 | Join us for Ash Wednesday service

Join us for our Ash Wednesday service at the Kirk of Holly Springs Presbyterian!

Time: 7:00pm

When: 18-Feb

Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and repentance leading to Easter, reminding Christians of their mortality ("dust to dust") and calling them to turn towards God through acts like receiving ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads, symbolizing penance and a fresh start for spiritual renewal. It's a solemn day focused on self-reflection, sacrifice (like giving up things or abstaining from meat), and preparing for the resurrection of Jesus. 

Why It Matters

It's a powerful visual and spiritual marker, calling believers to focus on their spiritual lives, acknowledge their human frailty, and commit to a deeper relationship with God before Easter.
