BROWNEDGE STAFF AND PUPILS PARTICIPATE IN ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
Ash Wednesday IS the first day in the season of Lent. Throughout this season we take time to think about our lives and the ways we can grow closer to Jesus, as we journey with Him to the cross and to the certain joy of Easter. We prepare our hearts for this joy through praying, fasting and giving.
To mark the beginning of Lent, our pupils and staff spent the afternoon at Church for our Ash Wednesday service. A huge thank you to all the pupils who read and distributed ashes, and to Fr Mark for helping us enter into this beautiful season!
“We are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were appealing through us, and the appeal that we make in Christ’s name is: be reconciled to God.” - 2 Corinthians 5:20
