Ash Wednesday Evening Service

for 1 hour
St Peter’s, Monkmoor
St Peter’s Church and Parish Hall Monkmoor Road Shrewsbury SY2 5BE, SY2 5BE, United Kingdom

Using ashes made from palm leaves we mark the forehead to signify the affect of sin, but also to look forward to the gift of forgiveness. Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent, a time of prayer and reflection before Easter.

St Peter’s, Monkmoor

St Peter’s is a warm, welcoming and relaxed small church on Monkmoor Road, Shrewsbury. 

Central, gently evangelical tradition. With a smile 😊

Sunday worship is accessible, and usually followed by refreshments.
