Ash Wednesday Services

  • Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church 3775 Crosshaven Drive Birmingham, AL, 35223 United States (map)

The 40 days of Lent are traditionally days of fasting and filled with intentional practices that help prepare us for the gift of Easter.

We will celebrate the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday with Imposition of Ashes and Holy Eucharist

7:00 a.m. - spoken service

12:15 p.m. - soloist and piano

6:30 p.m. - choir and Children’s Chapel


This Ash Wednesday, preceding the midday and evening worship services, we will also offer a special liturgy, written by our parishioner Rob Elsner, for use with our labyrinth. These contemplative labyrinth services will begin at 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., finishing in time for you to participate in Imposition of Ashes and Holy Eucharist in the Nave at 12:15 and 6:30 p.m.
