Ash Wednesday Eucharist

for 1 hour

St John the Baptist, Bewdley Road Kidderminster Worcestershire (On A456 Bewdley Road, Kidderminster), DY11 6RL, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent - the 40-day season that leads up to Holy Week and Easter. The whole season of Lent is an opportunity for spiritual growth and reflection on how we live our lives. Ash Wednesday in particular is a chance to be reminded of God's goodness, and to acknowledge our own slips and failings.

St John's has an Ash Wednesday eucharist (the service where we receive the blessed bread and wine). It also is a service where worshippers can have the sign of the cross marked on their foreheads in ash - hence the name of the day.

The service is at 10am - and all are welcome to share in it.
