Ash Wednesday


Picture
ASH WEDNESDAY falls on February 18
On this most solemn day all Christians will want to consider their relationship with God, turn again to experience his mercy & forgiveness.  

In addition to our three services indicated on the poster, we are also for the first time, taking the ashes to the streets--offering people who walk by our church day by day a chance to receive the ashes on their foreheads too.  The Imposition of Ashes is a sign of
•  Our acknowledgement of own mortality
•  God’s power to heal brokenness, 
     in our lives and in our world
•  Our need to respond to God’s call to us, 
                                                                      to turn again to him.  

We will be outside the Kensington High Street entrance to the church, between 7.30 and 8.30am; 12.30-1.30pm and 5.30-6.30pm.  

If you can't make it to church on Ash Wednesday but still would like to receive the ashes, do stop by.
