Well it's almost Ash Wednesday and I would be interested to hear what you and/or your church is doing for lent. Do you fast? Do you give alms? Anything special you want to do this lent? Do you even mark/celebrate lent?
My church is hosting the congregaton from the local Anglican church in a combined service (we went to theirs last year) and distribution of ashes. I'm also receving the baptism/confirmation/first Eucharist at the Easter vigil so I'm using lent to spiritually prepare for that.

This year I am just trying to learn certain christ like character qualities like self control and patience by avoiding things I love A LOT biscuits, sweets and chocolate and doing some deep personal thinking!
