Ash Wednesday at Bowmanville

Join us for a 45-minute midday Ash Wednesday service marking the beginning of Lent.This gathering is designed to be accessible and familiar, even if Ash Wednesday is new to you, while highlighting the significance of this holy day. We’ll engage historic Ash Wednesday practices through prayers of repentance, confession, and an optional invitation to receive ashes — an embodied sign of humility, repentance, and hope. This service invites us to slow down and reorient our hearts for the Lenten season through prayer, fasting, and attentiveness to Scripture. Whether you come on your lunch break or step in quietly for reflection, this gathering creates space to begin the season grounded, honest, and hopeful. While childcare will not be available, children are welcome to join you in the service.
