DESCRIPTION:We shall be marking the beginning of Lent with a lunchtime Cho
 ral Eucharist on Ash Wednesday at 1:15pm.\n\nThe service includes the Impo
 sition of Ashes. Last year's Palm Sunday fronds are burnt to ash and these
  are used to mark the sign of the cross on a person's forehead. This is a 
 sign of penitence and marks the start of the observation of Lent during wh
 ich we prepare for Easter. It is also an echo of words from the book of Ge
 nesis and a symbol of our own mortality: 'for dust thou art\, and unto dus
 t shalt thou return'.\n\nThe following music will be sung at the service b
 y our wonderful St Bride's Choir:\n\nSetting: Mass for five voices – Wil
 liam Byrd\nAnthems: i) In aeternum – William Mundy\; ii) Emendemus in me
 lius – William Byrd\; iii) Remember not\, Lord\, our offences – Henry 
 Purcell\n\nDuring the service we are invited to reflect both upon our own 
 mortality\, and Christ’s offer to us of life in all its fullness. It eng
 ages with some of the most profound realities of human life\, which render
 s it one of the most powerful and thought-provoking services of the year.\
 n\nAll are warmly welcomed to join us as we enter the season of Lent toget
 her.
