Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a time of prayer, lament, confession, and the imposition of ashes in the form of a cross on one's forehead.

Ash Wednesday invites Christians to mourn and grieve loss and death and then repent and turn around.

The ashes and the cross on our forehead are a reminder of our brokenness and God's radical love and divine approval that restores us to fellowship with Him.

Lent is a season where our hearts are stretched, lengthened, and pruned, awaiting the new springtime blossoming of the resurrection.

St Martin with S.Wilfrid & S.Alban

St Martin's church, set in the very heart of Brighton, now sharing the dedication with St Wilfrid and St Alban (titles of two parishes in the former Resurrection Team) was consecrated in 1875 as the memorial to Fr. Henry Wagner, one of Brighton's longest serving vicars and builder of churches. Originally it was to have two further purposes, one to be the Garrison Church of Brighton and the other to serve the community in and around the Lewes Road. The latter remains its purpose today.
