Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, which concludes after 40 days with the celebration of Easter.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported (http://cin.ci/wErYFp) the service is aimed at busy people, as well as people who might be intimidated walking into a church.
In addition to ashes, Cook will provide a church brochure and a Lenten booklet.
The church also is offering a more traditional Ash Wednesday service inside at 7 p.m.
