    Lent before Easter

    Tension/release. It’s a pattern we see in every song, every story, every area of life. Think of your favorite song; notice the part where energy is building, building, building, then RELEASE, often into the chorus, the most memorable part of the song, the heart of the message of the whole song...

    Lent. Woo-hoo!!

    I am so excited for Lent! :ebil: I have to say, growing up Protestant I never heard much about Lent, had no idea what it was, and pretty much assumed it was something only Catholics did. Later on, after I came to faith, I always wanted to somehow make Easter Sunday special, because I understood...

    How are you celebrating Lent?

    I went to a United Methodist Church Ash Wednesday service, and for my "giving up something" for Lent I'm actually not, and instead, I've decided to try to be nicer to my family in preparation for Easter, which is the culmination of Lent. In an Episcopal Church I used to visit, they would only...

    Give Up Something Significant For Lent

    Hello, all. I want to make Lent this year something significant, something far more powerful than the usual no beer, no chocolate, no TV, something like that. While these sacrifices, properly done, certainly do help us come closer to God, I want to do something better, something lasting...

    coming back to Christ after 10 years

    When I was younger I went to church every Sunday, prayed at mealtimes, served on the altar and went to church meetings on Saturdays. After a few tragedies in my life, an out-of-state college, and an job in entertainment that often requires 10-12 hour days and 6-7 day weeks, I realized I needed...
