Ash Wednesday Mass

for 30 mins
Beckenham: St Barnabas
Perth Road Beckenham, BR3 6PP, United Kingdom

Join us for the Ash Wednesday Mass as we begin the season of Lent. Marked with ashes, we are reminded of our frailty and our need for God’s faithful and supporting presence, especially in times of difficulty. This quiet service invites us to walk the Lenten path with honesty and trust, looking ahead to the hope of resurrection at Easter. You are warmly invited to come as you are and take part.

Beckenham: St Barnabas

Welcome

Our Purpose is to grow in love and knowledge of God

St. Barnabas Beckenham is a small but growing Church of local people.

As Christians we seek to learn more about God, our local community and ourselves.

We believe God loves everyone, whether you go to church or not.

We do not claim absolute knowledge of God or how to live well in life.

We learn more about life through making mistakes, because that’s the way life works.

We welcome everyone – you are welcome to come as you are, not as you think you should be.

We don’t have a problem with doubt in God.

We are grateful that everyone is different; we are all of immense value to God.

We believe a relationship with God transforms lives.

Come as you are. Leave uplifted.
