The McKeesport Area Ministerium will hold community-wide Lenten services on Wednesdays beginning Feb. 21, a spokeswoman said.
For Christians of the Western tradition, including the Roman Catholic Church and most mainline Protestant denominations, Lent is supposed to be a period of fasting and penitence for 40 days leading up until Easter Sunday.
This year, Lent begins on Feb. 14 with the observance of Ash Wednesday.
All of the services will begin at 12 noon and are open to anyone, of any denomination. A light lunch will be served at each location following the service, and a free will offering will be taken to help defray the cost of the meal.
Feb. 21: Auberle, 1101 Hartman St.
Feb. 28: Bethlehem Baptist Church, 716 Walnut St.
March 7: McKeesport Presbyterian Church, 1510 Versailles Ave.
March 14: Rainbow Temple, 536 Shaw Ave.
March 21: St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 220 8th Ave.
