February 25, 2009 is Ash Wednesday, which begins our Lenten Season. What does Lent mean to you? It is not uncommon to hear our brothers and sisters talking about "giving up" something for Lent. One of my most meaningful Lenten Seasons was when I made a commitment for Lent, which at the time included a Sunday evening bible study with a few close friends. The Presbyterian Hunger Program has many ideas that can make this Lenten Season a spiritual practice that benefits us individually and corporately. For example, fasting during the weekend, and putting the few dollars that we might have spent for a meal towards the One Great Hour of Sharing. This Special Offering, which is typically taken during Palm Sunday, helps support the Presbyterian Hunger Program, Self-Development of People and the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Program.
