Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent - the 40 day period that leads us up to Holy Week and Easter. The whole season of Lent has are more sober, pensive and penitential feel to it. Ash Wednesday in particular is an occasion to call to mind our slips and failings, and to be reminded of God's goodness and mercy.
At St Mary's there is a service at 7 pm - a eucharist (the service where we receive the blest bread and wine). As p;art of this service worshippers can have the sign of the cross marked on their foreheads wish ash - hence the name of the day. It is a sign of that we rely on God to forgive and to cleanse us.
All are welcome to share in this service.
