Our Ash Wednesday service will be in church on March 2nd at 12:30pm. All are welcome to come and mark the beginning of Lent, which is the time leading up to the celebration of Easter.
As part of our service the offer is made to receive a mark of ashes on the forehead. This is a very old Christian tradition, also known as the 'imposition of ashes' and is received as a token of penitence and mortality. Simon explains more here. Imposition meaning applying rather than its other meaning of punishment!
