Lent Begins with Ash Wednesday--February 22, 2023

We gather with neighbors and community members to begin the season of Lent with

the imposition of ashes on our foreheads. Three Northfield congregations--Ascension Lutheran,  Northfield Community and St. James the Less Episcopal--invite you to receive ashes in a drive-by fashion and to worship together in the evening.
