St. Thomas/Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, 3980 S. Lindbergh Blvd., held its ninth annual “Ashes To Go” event on March 7 for Ash Wednesday.

Drivers could choose to remain in their car – which most did, due to the cold, wet weather –  or to quickly step out for a brief prayer and imposition of ashes.

Ashes were offered from 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in the north parking lot of the church. Approximately 250 community members stopped by.
