All-Age Ash Wednesday Service

All-Age Ash Wednesday Service – Created by one of our parishes and offered for others to use, this service invites the whole community to begin the journey of Lent together. Children play a key role throughout, helping to lead and engage with the service in meaningful ways.

How to use

The service includes five prayer spaces, each offering reflection on different elements of the Easter story and the road of Lent ahead. You can use the service as it is, or adapt it to suit your own context and setting. A service order download is provided to guide your planning, making it easy to run a thoughtful and interactive Ash Wednesday experience for all ages, as well as 5 prayer spaces outlines.
