Ash Wednesday service at Marton Church

for 1 hour
St James & St Paul, Marton
Congleton Road Marton Macclesfield, SK11 9HF, United Kingdom

This evening, there will be a special Ash Wednesday service at the Church of St James and St Paul, Marton to which everyone is invited.

During the service, the minister will place ashes on each worshipper's forehead in the shape of a cross. The ceremony shows that a person belongs to Jesus Christ, and it also represents a person's grief and mourning for their sins — the same sins that Christians believe Jesus Christ gave his life for when he died on the cross.

Refreshments will be served after the service.
