Ash Wednesday Service ✝️

Join us at First Presbyterian Church Fort Walton Beach (FPCFWB) for a special Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday, March 5th, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary 🕊️ (134 Beal Pkwy, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32538).

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. During this meaningful service, you will have the opportunity to receive the sign of the cross on your forehead, made with ashes. This powerful symbol reminds us of our mortality (“from dust you came and to dust you shall return”) and our need for God’s grace. 🙏🏼

You don’t want to miss this beautiful time of worship. Bring your family and friends as we begin this sacred journey together. 💒

📅 Save the Date!

Please take a moment to watch this Worship Service. Let us Worship the Lord!
