We have a prayer service and soup supper every Wednesday in Lent. I've attended all of them and made soup.

I'm altar guild, so I'll be pretty busy during Holy Week. I'll be covering Tennebrae on Wednesday night and Good Friday for three hours on Friday.

I love Holy Week and Easter. I'm so not a Christmas person.
