Ash Wednesday service

for 1 hour
St Lawrence, Knodishall
Knodishall with Buxlow Saxmundham, IP17 1TP, United Kingdom

On Ash Wednesday, many Christians attend special church services where priests hand-draw ash crosses on parishioners’ foreheads or the tops of their heads. The ashes symbolize the dust God used to create humans and remind us of grief over the sins we’ve committed.

We are very pleased to advise that St Lawrence Church at Knodishall are again hosting a Benefice "Ashing" service on Ash Wednesday, which this year is on March 5th and will be at 6pm. This is a poignant and meaningful time, it will be a Holy Communion service led by Revd Mary Brown, and all are very welcome.
