Ash Wednesday Compline

St Weonards Church
St Weonard's Church, St Weonards, Hereford, HR2 8NU, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.

All are welcome for our Ash Wednesday Compline (night prayer) service which sets the tone for Lent, with quiet readings, and a focus on penitence (saying sorry for and turning away from sin).

We are reminded: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ."

Prayer for the day:

Almighty and everlasting God,
you hate nothing that you have made
and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent:
create and make in us new and contrite hearts
that we, worthily lamenting our sins
and acknowledging our wretchedness,
may receive from you, the God of all mercy,
perfect remission and forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

St Weonards Church

St Weonards is an active Anglican church situated in a beautiful part of south-west Herefordshire.

St Weonards benefice includes the parishes of Garway, Orcop, St Weonards, Tretire with Michaelchurch and Pencoyd, and Hentland and Hoarwithy. We form part of the church in the deanery of Ross & Archenfield in the Diocese of Hereford.

In each of our parishes, you'll find church members actively supporting and caring for those around them, and contributing in many ways to the life of our local communities.

Visitors are most welcome to visit our beautiful grade 1 listed church, which is open during the day, and of course to join us for mid-week or Sunday services.

Please visit our website https://www.stw.org.uk/St-Weonards-church/ for more information.

As a church, as part of our witness, we 'strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth' (5th mark of mission).  We achieved an Eco Church bronze award in 2020 and look forward to further progress in this vital area.
