I am Catholic and always attend on Ash Wednesday.

Do other Christian denominations have services on Ash Wednesday, or is that just a Catholic thing?

As to making sure you "get there," I think the best thing to do is just to plan to do it and then do it. Get involved in a ministry that means you HAVE to be there, if that's what it takes. And I would also encourage you to pray about it. Let God know that you have been reluctant to attend church, and that you want to change--and ask for God's help in making that change. Call a friend and go together, if you don't go with your spouse.
