Ash Wednesday 

Wednesday 18 February at 4pm.
Please join with this traditional service to start the Lent Season with Ashes and Holy Communion.

Ash Wednesday is a Holy Day that signifies the beginning of Lent.

It marks the entry into a season of spiritual preparation for Holy Week, which culminates in Easter. Any march toward the redeeming work of Christ must begin with a recognition of our need for his grace—and that reminder is Ash Wednesday.

The day affirms that we are dust, as ashes are literally spread in a cross on our foreheads. The cross represents Jesus and how he has redeemed us. We are encouraged to seek repentance with humble hearts and prepare for his gift (taken from https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/ash-wednesday-prayer-with-reflection-prompts.html).
