Ash Wednesday and Lent

Ash Wednesday

As we enter the season of Lent, we invite you to join us for a special service of Ashing and Holy Communion on Wednesday 18th February at 6pm in Greyfriars Church.

Churches Together Lent Lunches

These take place in the Parish Church Hall each Wednesday during Lent from 18th February through to 25th March at 12.15pm. Donations this year will be given to Ambulances4Ukraine.

Lent Group

This year’s Churches Together Lent Group will be following the book: ‘O God, Why?’ by Gerard Hughes SJ. Copies are available to borrow. The book offers material for daily personal
reflective reading and prayer, from Ash Wednesday through to Easter Sunday. There will be weekly meetings on Tuesdays, 2.00-3.30pm in the Cuthbert Room of the RC Church Hall, beginning with an introductory meeting on Tuesday 17th February. Our weekly meetings will include fellowship together and gentle sharing about how God has met us in our prayer. For further information speak to Revd Alison.

You can take a look at the full Church Calendar for more information on all that's going on.

Planning your Visit

New to church?

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at Greyfriars Church (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 11am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. It is a great way to meet people and find out more about us.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. If you need a large print service book, please ask.

Our Service

The main service begins with a warm welcome from our Priest-in-Charge. Our service of Holy Communion includes hymns accompanied on the organ, bible readings, a sermon, prayers of intercession and responses. If you are a communicant member of another church, you are invited to share Holy Communion with us. Or if you prefer, you can come to the altar for a prayer of blessing.

Serving and Volunteering

Once you've settled here with us, if you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. It's also a great way to get to know more people.
