A Lenten Guide to aide in marking the time and journey through the Christian Season of Lent. In many cases, Lent has become a season of the church year that goes unnoticed and/or misunderstood. We recognize that there seems to be a sense of renewal of Lenten emphasis over the past few years. Our first Lenten Guide will focus on Christian Practices, particularly as they pertain to Lent and Lenten practices or disciplines. Perhaps you have endeavored to “give something up for Lent” in the past. Do you know where that practice comes from? We will use the Beatitudes as a basis for our weekly journey as we explore a host of Lenten and Christian practices through the season of Lent.
