Piedmont Presbyterian Church

Wednesday, March 5th, 7:00 pm
Observe the beginning of Lent, the 40 days of preparation to celebrate Easter, with a worship service of readings, prayers and the marking of ash on your forehead or hand to remind you of your own mortality and fallibility. This brief service will be followed by a time of silent prayer and reflection in the sanctuary. All are welcome.

Please join us for worship on Sunday, 10:30am. This service will include readings from many of Rev. Dr. King’s sermons, speeches and writings, interspersed with scriptures and hymns that King used as a foundation to inspire his listeners.
