Does this one rename the visitation or leave it off since that’s more a Catholic thing? I’ve been curious about that ever since learning roe v wade was overturned on that day. So cool!!!

The Calendar model follows much of the Lutheran tradition.

Two quotes stick out for me here.

"Lent is giving up childish ways and embracing the ways of Calvary."

"But we cannot earn what has been earned for us."

So often the truly Reformed dismiss the observation of Lent as a man-made exercise or "Papist" with overtures of seeking to earn something with works. The more often I observe Lent though, there is the stark reminder of just the opposite.

The greater grasp one has of their own sinful childish ways, the more one recognizes the utter futility of trying to please God and earn his favor. Tis really true we cannot earn what has been earned for us.

Is there an article or something I can send to my mother who is looking for “Lent 101” guidelines? We were raised Baptist in the rural south so this is very new to us.

Addie, are you looking for an introduction to Lent? Something like this? https://www.uribrito.com/p/the-case-for-lent

This is helpful! But I think she’s looking more for a practical step-by-step guide 😆

Is there a place one can buy a church calendar? Any recommendations?

I was given this link by the woman that created the one Pastor Uri replied with. May be easier to get it printed? 🤗 http://cloav.printify.me
