Much Birch: St Mary & St Thomas a Becket
A49 Ross to Hereford Much Birch Hereford, HR2 8HT, United Kingdom

Come and join us as we start our Lent journey with the traditional service of Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes. The ashes come from last year's Palm Crosses which are burnt and mixed with a little olive oil. The marking of our foreheads is a sign of our repentance and turning to God.
