Ash Wednesday Services

for 1 hour
St Bartholomew Cresswell
Cresswell Road Cresswell, NE61 5JT, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday marks the start of our journey through Lent and towards Holy Week and Easter.
In this service we are called to a fresh start, committing ourselves to Christ and leaving behind all that stops us from living free, wholesome and good lives. We will receive ash crosses on our foreheads as a mark of repentance and a new bgeinning.
If you're not sure what "committing to Christ" could look like for you, why not join our Lent course in person or online?

St Bartholomew Cresswell

Welcome to St Bartholomew, the parish church for Cresswell, Elllington and Lynemouth.

We are a friendly community worshipping in a beautiful church which was built in 1836 by the Baker-Cresswell family. 

We hope you will find what you need here, if you have any questions please contact us by phone or email or find us on facebook for information on our latest news and events.

Come and experience yourself what it feels like to pray, sing and share in a space that has many stories to tell.

You will find a smiling welcome and uplifting services followed by coffee, a perfect opportunity for making new friends and meeting old ones.
