DESCRIPTION:EVERYONE is invited to join in this special parish Ash Wednesd
 ay Communion service co-led by Open Table\, our LGBTIQIA+ Community. We’
 re taking part in the international Glitter Ash initiative. Sounds frivolo
 us but it carries a profound message.\n\nGlitter Ash exquisitely captures 
 the relationship between Ash Wednesday and Easter -- which is the relation
 ship between death and new life. We do not live in fear of ash - of death 
 - we place it on our foreheads for the world to see. We know that fear wil
 l rise\, cramping our hearts. We also know that God specifically calls us 
 not to project that fear onto the Other\, the alien\, the stranger in our 
 midst. God insists that we look for the spark of life\, of hope\, in ourse
 lves and one another. \n\nThis Ash Wednesday\, we will make that spark eas
 ier to see. As Christians\, we will witness to the gritty\, glittery\, sca
 ndalous hope that exists in the very marrow of our tradition.
