Ash Wednesday Holy Communion

for 1 hour
St Hilda's, Warley Woods
Abbey Road Smethwick, B67 5NQ, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. It is a day when Christians come together to acknowledge our human frailty and need for God’s grace. The ashes, placed in the shape of a cross on the forehead, are a powerful reminder of our mortality and the hope we have in Christ’s resurrection.

Join us for a service of Holy Communion this Ash Wednesday as we begin this sacred journey together. Through prayer, scripture, and the sharing of bread and wine, we will enter this season with humble hearts and renewed faith.
