Ashes-To-Go available at Our Lord’s Lutheran
Times-Tribune staff
Our Lord’s Lutheran Church in Maryville will offer a drive-through option for the imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday.
Ashes-To-Go will be available during three timeframes: 7:30-8:30 am, 11:30-1:30 pm, and 4-6 pm. The church is located at 150 Wilma Dr. Maryville. To get to OLLC, follow the frontage road past Elmwood Care Center, turn right at the drive just before the church building, and pull up to the covered portico.
The church asks if another car is already there, please pull in behind it and wait to pull forward when it departs and that those waiting for ashes please remain in their car.
Participants will remain in their car during this drive-through event. Upon arrival, Pastor Darla Ann Kratzer will come to your car window and step forward to hand you a single page with prayers, according to a church news release. She will then stand near your car door while speaking. Then, using a cotton swab, she will impose a cross of ashes upon your forehead.
In addition to Ashes-to-Go, Our Lord’s will observe Ash Wednesday with a 6:30 pm worship service in the building. This service will also be livestreamed and can be viewed at ourlords.org/live.
