Ash Wednesday at Wesley
On March 6th, Wesley invites you to participate in the Christian tradition of Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the journey towards Easter. Traditionally this is the time to reflect on your life and relationship with God, look intentionally at the next 40 days, and as a result practice self-denial (giving something up) or begin a new habit to bring you closer to God.
We will be in the free speech zone during the day offering ashes to anyone who wants to participate. At 9pm we will have a student-centric service that will give us more time to interactively participate in the meaning of Ash Wednesday.
On campus and at our service we will have traditional ashes as well as glitter ashes. What are glitter ashes and why does it matter? We recognize that the public face of Christianity is often a face of intolerance,especially toward LGBTQ people. We are among the millions of Christians who believe that the Gospel commands us to love, not hate. Glitter ashes are a witness to an inclusive, queer positive Christian message.
