Ash Wednesday

The night of Ash Wednesday we had a dinner, followed by worship. During the dinner, a young mother came to me and said she overheard two 3rd graders talking earlier that day in school. The little girl asked the boy what that smudge was on his forehead. He replied, "Its Ash Wednesday." 
"What's Ash Wednesday?" She asked.
