With in-person services suspended in many local churches, religious leaders have found creative ways to observe Ash Wednesday and Lent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral's efforts are literally in the bag.
The church, led by Dean Katie Churchwell, is offering parishioners "Holy Lent Bags," which include items that individuals and families need to observe the Lenten season at home. The church, 127 NW 7, is distributing the bags in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday on Wednesday.
"Our goal with the Holy Lent Bags is that people will have a holy Lent, and a global pandemic doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of that, regardless of whether people feel comfortable doing things in person,"
