Ashes to Go – Ash Wednesday
Wednesday, February 18, 2026
7:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Bethany Lutheran Church
76 West Crystal Lake Avenue, Crystal Lake, IL 60014
Begin your day with a moment of reflection and blessing. On Ash Wednesday, stop by Bethany Lutheran Church between 7:00 and 9:00 AM to receive ashes as a sign of repentance and renewal. You drive up in your car where Pastor Katie & Pastor Paul will meet you outside to receive the imposition of ashes.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. 
We also have our regularly scheduled Ash Wednesday evening service beginning with our Soup Supper at 5:30 PM and Ash Wednesday Worship at 7:00 PM.
We look forward to seeing you and blessing you with Ashes to Go!
