Ash Wednesday Service

Wed 17 Feb | 19.45 | stjohnsharborne.online.church
On Wednesday 17 February we will have the opportunity to start Lent together as we read Scripture, reflect, pray (with the option of ashing) and share an agape meal together, so do make sure you have some bread and wine or something similar to partake with us all. 

When we meet in person on Ash Wednesday we would often include ‘ashing’ where those who would like to are marked with a cross in ash as a sign of penitence and as a reminder of our own mortality.  Within the online service there will be time for us to mark ourselves with the sign of a cross – you may simply want to do this with your finger on your forehead, or you could use ash (traditionally made from last year’s palm crosses) mixed with oil, or oil on its own.
