Ollie Rencher applies ashes to the forehead of Brian O'Neill on the sidewalk in front of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. A new take on the old Lenten tradition of administering ashes: Taking Ash Wednesday to the streets. Rev. Ollie Rencher -- the new rector at uptown's St. Peter's Episcopal, kicks off the 40-day season of Lent with "Ashes to Go." The rector will offer ashes on the lawn outside his church to busy passersby in the morning (8-8:15 a.m.), lunchtime (11:30 a.m.-12 noon) and late afternoon (5-15 p.m.) A sandwich board will alert those walking along Tryon Street of this chance to get ashes and free bottled water to remind them of holy refreshment. They'll also get a Lenten holy card. Davie Hinshaw - dhinshaw@charlotteobserver.com
