ASH WEDNESDAY....WEDNESDAY, March 9th

ASH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9TH

Service of Holy Communion & Holy Ashes

11am Morning Service

7pm Evening Service



We invite you to come and be part of the traditonal day marking the beginning of the holy season of Lent. Ash Wednesday will be special time during the 7 weeks before Easter as a time of penitence and spiritual self-examination. Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginnig of Lent, derives its name from the ancient pratices of marking the foreheads of worshikppers with ashes from unused palm branches of the prvious year.



We will be sharing in two services 11am & 7pm. These services will include holy communion and the imposition of ashes. As the ashes are past we invite people to place them in their fingers, put on their wrists, put on their foreheads or simply reflect upon them. Holy Communion will be received as a reminder of the passion of our Lord as we prepare to reflect upon him in this Holy Season.



We invite you to come and bring a friend to this time of Ash Wednesday as we begin to go and grow deep into our discipleship in Jesus Christ.



Hope to See YOU

Ashe Wednesday blessings
