Our service for Ash Wednesday was recorded at St James the Great, Silsoe and is led by Rev David Payne. Rev Anne Barker gives the address and Nick Thompson reads from the Bible.
Music is from the musicians and singers of St Martins in the Field and the Royal School of Church Music.
You are welcome to watch the service at any time, but the suggested worship time for our Virtual Congregation is 7:30pm on Wednesday 17 February.

At the end of the service you will find information about our Lent course ‘Teach Us to Pray’ (including a possible second course) and also the Church of England’s #LiveLent. There’s also a short video from Rev David talking about Lent.
If you would like to take part in one of our services, maybe by reading from the Bible or leading the prayers, please contact Rev David on 01525 864858 or vicar@3churches.uk
