Art + Ash Wednesday at Texas State

The students of the United Campus Ministry at Texas State observed the start of Lent with a special “Art + Ash” Wednesday worship service. Students gathered at the UCM sanctuary on Ash Wednesday for a time of song, prayer, and Scripture reading. Ashes were prepared from last year’s palms from Palm Sunday. Students placed ashes in the sign of a cross on each other’s forehead as a sign of mortality and repentance to start Lent.
