For the third year in a row, Episcopal congregations in towns across northern New Jersey will take to the streets on Ash Wednesday, March 5, marking the beginning of the Christian holy season of Lent by giving “Ashes to Go.”
The service will be held at 3 p.m. at 211 Main Street, Lincoln Park.
A reception will follow at 9 Two Bridges Road, Towaco.
For the third year in a row, Bishop Mark Beckwith and the Rev. Canon Gregory A. Jacobs will offer a quiet moment of religious observance to busy commuters traveling through Newark on Ash Wednesday, March 5. During morning rush hour Canon Jacobs will offer "Ashes to Go" outside Broad Street Station in Newark; during evening rush hour Bishop Mark Beckwith will offer "Ashes to Go" outside Newark Penn Station.
If your congregation plans to join them by offering "Ashes to Go" at your local train or bus station, or another public location in your community, you can be included in the diocesan press release to northern New Jersey media by contacting the Communications Office no later than 12 noon on Friday, February 28.
God willing and the people consenting, the Right Reverend Mark M. Beckwith, Bishop of Newark, will ordain Miguel Hernandez to the sacred order of priests in Christ's one holy catholic and apostolic church.
Your prayers and presence are requested. White or festive stoles and attire. Reception to follow in Parish Hall.
[Episcopal News Service] In the months leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII, Episcopalians in New Jersey and surrounding states have been gearing up, not for the big game, but for an influx of women and children who officials say will be trafficked into the region for sexual exploitation.
Here am I. Send me.
[The Star-Ledger] We’ve had years to plan for New Jersey’s Super Bowl, which will be played in the Meadowlands a week from today. The Meadowlands sit squarely in the heart of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, comprising more than 100 congregations in the northern third of the state — and like everyone else in the area, we have been preparing for months.
