Welcome to Lent

And here's the Lent curtain!

The back is a solid black, I will turn the curtain around and show just the black from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday. (aka the Triduum)

I wanted this curtain to be intentionally simple. The only beauty in this curtain is the fabric. In other words it's not to be a source of pride for me, just a nice curtain to remind us to put Christ first during this season of Lent.

As we move into Lent and prepare for Jesus's Crucifixion and Resurrection, I encourage us all to set aside sources of personal pride. Focus on the fact that without the love of God we can do nothing.





Here's what the kids have decided to give up for Lent. Sonshine - his Woody, Gator - all his cars, Sugars - a dog and a firetruck.

what are you giving up as a reminder of what Christ gave for you?
