Photographer Sara Clark and Wilmington Faith and Values Editor Amanda Greene teamed up today during Ash Wednesday to illustrate the beginning of the 40-day Christian penitential season of Lent.
Amanda attended an Ash Wednesday “Come and Go” service at Wrightsboro United Methodist Church and a noon service at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church downtown.
Sara attended a student Mass at the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Catholic Student Center and a Spanish Mass at St. Mary Catholic Church downtown.
Stay tuned for Act Two.
