Ash Wednesday service at Holy Trinity on Wednesday 18th February at 1pm.
You’re warmly invited to join us for this hour-long service marking the beginning of Lent.
During the service there will be Communion, prayer and the opportunity to receive the sign of the cross in ashes on your forehead (ashing) - a sign of repentance and turning again towards God.
Lent is the 40-day season leading up to Easter, reflecting Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness fasting and praying before he began his public ministry. It’s traditionally a time when Christians pause to reflect, pray and prepare their hearts, seeking a fresh start with God.
All are welcome to share in this special moment in the church year.
Many people also choose to begin a spiritual practice during Lent, such as prayer, generosity, or giving something up, as a way of focusing more intentionally on their faith.
