Wayside plans Lenten activities

Wayside Presbyterian Church, 600 Stony Battery Road, Landisville, will offer a reflective service on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 6:30 p.m. The service of Ashes and Communion will feature ashes from last year's Palm Sunday parade palms, mixed with olive oil. Worshipers will have the option of Pastor Steve imposing a cross of ashes on their forehead or the back of their hand, with the option of self-imposing ashes using a rubber cross-shaped stamp.

Communion will also be celebrated at the 45-minute service, either with wafers dipped into the common chalice or with individually prepackaged elements. Scripture, prayer, and a brief message introducing Wayside's new sermon series, "Into the Wild," will focus on Jesus' time in the wilderness being tempted by Satan. Music will include a choir anthem and bell choir selection.

Wayside will offer additional activities during the Lenten season and Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, April 2; Maundy Thursday, April 6, and Easter Sunday, April 9. The community is welcome to attend.
