count your blessings and other ideas for lent

Just discovered in today's Independent that one lady is planning to give up supermarkets for lent - now that's taking it seriously ...

Lent begins on Wednesday and I'm planning to try and give up chocolate. When you have a mars bar a day that's not easy! Anyway on to other things ...

1. Count your blessings is a guide for reflection, prayer and giving from christian aid - great thing to do with the family. Get a copy here

2. Lent blog at hopeful imagination. I'm hoping this will be better than last year's attempt. Lent is a lot harder to blog through than advent.

3. Lent Explorations - monday nights from 7-7.45pm at bunyan and every night through holy week
