Ash Wednesday MORNING SERVICE

St Andrew's Church, Clifton Campville, Tamworth
Church Street Clifton Campville Tamworth, B79 0AR, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday is a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God and marks the beginning of the penitential Lenten season. It is commonly observed with ashes and fasting. Christians mark their foreheads with a cross, the Cross of Ashes, made from the previous years palm crosses.
The ashes are imposed with the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (BCP, p. 265). Ashes are typically imposed by inscribing a cross on the forehead. The imposition of ashes has been practiced on Ash Wednesday since the ninth century.
