Ash Wednesday

This Ash Wednesday, we are offering both Dust and Stardust during our Ash Wednesday Service. The "Dust" is the traditional black ash placed on the forehead or back of the hand. The "Stardust" is ash with glitter in it as way of reminding us we are part of the greater cosmos of God's beloved creation. This is a bridge in thinking that combines our understanding of God with the knowledge of Science, as we recognize that God works in ways beyond our imagination. This is the chance for us to humble ourselves as we begin the season of Lent by remembering that we are part of something greater than ourselves, we are part of the universe.
