There will be an Ash Wednesday Service in the church on Wednesday 5 March at 20:00.
Everybody is welcome, whether you choose to receive the ashes or not, it’s up to you.
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence; from the middle ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross.
Usually the ash comes from the burning of last year’s palm crosses.
