Ash Wednesday

for 1 hour
St Michael's Church
Church Road Flixton, M41 6HR, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Ashes made from our palm crosses from last year are blessed and are burnt to make crosses on people's foreheads. The custom dates back to the Middle Ages. Our Ash Wednesday service set the tone for Lent, with sombre readings and hymns and a focus on penitence (saying sorry for and turning away from sin).

We'd love to welcome you to our church.  "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2).
