Other Services throughout the Church Season
While every service at St. Paul the Apostle- Rexdale is special, there are some important services which represent a significant time of the church calendar year which are important.
Mid-week worship and sharing time
- Weekly. TBD soon.
Special Services in Lent
- Ash Wednesday – service at 10:30 AM. Holy Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes.
- Ashes from the previous year’s palms from Palm Sunday are placed on a person’s forehead to indicate and remind us that we are human. Mortality and penitence are the two themes of Ash Wednesday. The following words are said, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The ashes are usually placed on a person’s forehead in the sign of a cross.
