Ash Wednesday service at Marton Church

for 1 hour
Church of St James and St Paul
Church of St James and St Paul, Congleton Road Marton Macclesfield SK11 9HD
This evening, there will be a special Ash Wednesday service at the Church of St James and St Paul, Marton to which everyone is invited. It is the first of a series of services held on Wednesdays during Lent.

During the service, the minister will place ashes on each worshipper's forehead in the shape of a cross. The ceremony shows that a person belongs to Jesus Christ, and it also represents a person's grief and mourning for their sins — the same sins that Christians believe Jesus Christ gave his life for when he died on the cross.

Lenten refreshments will be served after the service.
