How are you marking LENT?
The days running from Ash Wednesday to Easter have traditionally been a time to devote ourselves to something specific. For some, this means giving up something: fasting from food, social media, alcohol or chocolate. Many use this time to take up a new routine: daily Bible reading or a special pattern of prayer.
