Ash Wednesday – Joint Cluster Service
📍 St Francis Church, Strood
🗓 Wednesday 18th February
⏰ 7.00pm
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent — a season of reflection, repentance and renewal as we prepare our hearts for Easter.
We warmly invite you to join St Francis, St Nicholas and All Saints for this special joint cluster service as we gather around the ancient Christian practice of receiving ashes — a powerful sign of turning back to God and putting our trust again in Christ.
As we hear the words,
"Repent and believe in the Gospel,"
we come honestly before God, remembering our need of grace and opening ourselves to the new life Jesus offers.
This is a quiet, reflective service with space to pray, listen, and be marked with ashes as a sign of repentance and hope.
Whether you come every week or are just exploring faith, you are very welcome.
🙏 Come and begin Lent with us.
