Ash Wednesday – Join the chaplaincy team to mark the first day of lent

March 1, 2022

Join the chaplaincy team tomorrow (2 March) to mark Ash Wednesday at Sandwell, City and Rowley Hospitals.

Each year, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and is always 46 days before Easter Sunday. Lent is a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) marked by repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately celebration.

The Chaplaincy team will be on hand at Sandwell, City and Rowley Hospital Chapels as well as Leasowes Intermediate Care Centre and would like to offer the opportunity for everyone in the Christian faith  to be able to observe Ash Wednesday.

Whilst there is no service planned, colleagues are welcome to attend on an individual basis to mark the first day of Lent from 11 am to 12 noon at Leasowes and 12 noon to 2 pm at Sandwell, City and Rowley – officiated by our chaplains.
