Give Up or Take Up?

Dear Caldwell Family:
What a gorgeous day, a sure sign that this unusual winter won’t be with us forever. Tonight, as the Everitt’s reminded us, is our Coffee House and Talent Extravaganza at 6:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall I attended my first last year and loved seeing the range of acts and interests we have in this always-surprising congregation.

Do you give up something for Lent – maybe a favorite food or a bad habit? Or do you take up something – maybe a spiritual discipline or a deepened resolve to be better in a relationship? However we journey through these 40 days, the main idea is to find ways to reflect on the meaning of God’s activity in Christ and its relevance in our lives.
Tomorrow is the first Sunday in Lent and we will consider Christ’s own 40 days in the wilderness, when he was tested by the devil.
See you then – and enjoy your day.
