Covington First United Methodist and First Presbyterian churches will continue their annual tradition of hosting a joint Community Ash Wednesday service.

The community service alternates between the churches each year, and this year’s event will be held at FUMC, with senior pastor Doug Gilreath and associate pastor Jan McCoy joining the Rev. Billy Wade, senior pastor at First Presbyterian, in preparing and leading the worship service, which begins the Lenten season.

The two church choirs will also join together in worship for the evening and organists from both churches, the twin sisters Becky Ramsey and Alice Walker, will provide music.

The community is invited to come and join the churches as they worship together. Covington FUMC is located at 1113 Conyers St., Covington. For more information please call (770) 786-7305.
