It’s Ash  Wednesday, the day marking the beginning of the Lenten season.For many Christians,  Lent is a time of reflection and prayer in the days leading to Easter.

There are an abundance of Ash Wednesday services today, followed by a host of Lenten programs, services and activities.

Here are just a few in the Oklahoma City metro area:

–  An Ash Wednesday worship service will be held at 7 tonight at Northwest Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), 2828 NW 30.

The Rev. Zena McAdams, the church’s pastor, will preside over the service.

Beginning March 4, a noon prayer service will be held each Wednesday during the Lenten season, McAdams said. For more information, call 943-4477.

– Church of the Saviour will host an Ash Wednesday service and Communion at 7 tonight at 5600 NW 63.  This is a special service titled “Questions for Reflection” by the Rev. Jim Newby.

And for something different:

– First Presbyterian Church is offering a free Ash Wednesday tour of the church’s stained-glass windows at 11 a.m. today at 1001 NW 25.
