Lent Just Two Days Away

Lent is right around the corner---how will you keep it this year? What spiritual practice will you adopt? What devotional series will you follow? [Note--The Pantry will offer a reflection each day during Lent, including guest bloggers.] What will you do to return to the Lord your God?

You can, of course, follow along with our Lenten midweek theme and try out five different ways of exercising your spiritual muscles. They are contemplation, hospitality, fasting, care of creation, and worship. Each Monday there will be on the blog a brief description of the practice and an exercise for you to try during the week. Plus there will be an exercise each Wednesday evening during worship.

Here's another way to keep Lent, courtesy of Bill P., who came across it on the ELCA website--it's a Lenten devotional geared to "green" issues. You subscribe and it is sent daily to your email box. Find the program at www.elca.org/advocacy - scroll down to Living Earth and click on it. Thanks Bill, for the tip!

More on Lent tomorrow!
