What are you giving up for Lent?
Lent starts this Wednesday and runs to Easter Sunday (46 days in all) There is a tradition to give things up in this season and, as we miss them, to pray or give time to others. What you give up may save money and then we might consider giving to the Burnage Foodbank or another charity.
Why Do I Keep Lent?
Because Lent slows me down when life speeds up.
Because Lent tells the truth about sin and the greater truth about grace.
Because Lent reorders my loves.
And because Lent leads me, once again, to the empty tomb.
Lent is not about losing joy; it is about finding it more deeply.
This year let’s not rush through Lent. Let’s learn from Lent.
