I read another article earlier in the week about a Catholic and Baptist community that come together each year to celebrate Ash Wednesday. Have any of you experienced this in your parish or nearby community?

Not that per se, but we do have many non-Catholics taking ashes on ash Wednesday.

We have ecumenical services during the weeks of Lent with various different denominations. We come together to pray and discuss the meaning of Lent, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
