ASH Wednesday Holy Communion Service - in church only

for 45 mins
All Saints, Hackbridge & Beddington Corner
New Road Hackbridge and Beddington Corner Sutton, CR4 4JL, United Kingdom

A short said communion service followed by tea, coffee and a chat.

Service booklets and reading sheets are available in the church.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent - a season of reflection, penitence and fasting, and of preparation for Easter. The Imposition of Ashes will take place during our services of Holy Communion - the ashes are blessed, and the sign of the cross is made, in ash, on the forehead of worshippers.
Ash is a sign of mortality - a reminder that we shall all die. The sign of the cross reminds us of Jesus' death, which was followed by his being raised to new life. Ash Wednesday reminds us that through 'dying' to all that is self-centred in our lives, we may, through faith in Jesus, share in the fullness of life he came to bring.

Imposition of Ashes: The imposition of ashes is a traditional ritual that takes place on Ash Wednesday… If you have some ash, make the sign of the cross on your forehead or on the back of your hand… …be still for a moment and ask God for his forgiveness… Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.
