Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, a time of preparation, self-reflection and repentance in preparation for the coming of Easter.

If you are looking for a local Ash Wednesday service, please visit First United Methodist Church Richardson. We have three services available on Wednesday, February 14.

The first is at 6:30 am in our chapel.

The next service is at 12 noon in our Worship & Arts Center. Lunch will follow the noon service at a cost of $10. Reservations are not necessary.

Our evening service is at 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary.

All services include imposition of ashes, special music and a message from our senior pastor, Dr. Clayton Oliphint. Childcare for ages 4 and younger will be available at both the noon and 6:30 pm services.

First United Methodist Church Richardson is located at 503 N. Central Expressway on the southbound service road between Arapaho and Beltline.
