A visit to St.Edwards Church

We have had a lovely visit to the Church this morning for the Ash Wednesday service. Reverent Petra placed an ash cross on our foreheads, if we wanted one and Aubree very careful placed one on Reverent Petra’s head. We all listened and walked extremely well to the Church.
