Join us for a meaningful Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday, February 18 at 6:00pm as we begin the sacred season of Lent together.

This quiet, reflective service invites us to pause, pray, and open our hearts to God’s renewing presence. Through Scripture, music, and the traditional imposition of ashes, we remember our shared humanity and our call to walk more gently, more intentionally, and more lovingly in the weeks ahead.

All are welcome—whether this is a long‑held tradition for you or your first time experiencing Ash Wednesday. Come as you are and begin the Lenten journey in community.

Homeless Awareness Vigil RESCHEDULED
2026-02-18 18:45 - 19:45 | UCC of Westerly, 9 Castle Hill Rd, Pawcatuck, CT, 06379
The United Congregational Church of Westerly, United Church of Christ, will host a Homeless Awareness Vigil on Ash Wednesday, February 18 at 6:45 PM in the church’s upper parking lot at 9 Castle Hill Road in Pawcatuck. The community is invited to gather outdoors around a bonfire for an hour of prayer, reflection, and solidarity with neighbors experiencing homelessness. Ashes will be distributed in the Sanctuary at 6:00 PM for anyone wishing to receive them.
The vigil is intended to shine a light on the growing needs of individuals and families who struggle with housing insecurity throughout the region. “Too many of our neighbors feel unseen and unheard,” said Rev. Ruth Shilling Hainsworth, Pastor of UCC Westerly. “This vigil offers us a chance to stand together, witness together, and affirm the dignity of every person in our community.”
As part of the event, the church will collect new or gently used blankets to be distributed locally to those in need. Donations will be accepted on-site throughout the vigil.
All are welcome to attend. Participants are encouraged to dress warmly and “come as you are” for this simple but meaningful gathering of compassion, community, and hope.
For more information, please contact the church office at (860) 599‑1226.
