Lent is Here – let the Big Macs STOP!!!!!

As most, if not all of you, know – Lent is here. While the Methodist church does not traditionally give up something for Lent, we here in the GP08_11 class have decided to try this. We have chosen to give up something for the 6 weeks and then donate the ‘saved’ money to a good cause – feeding the hungry in Africa. Here’s what the class is giving up for Lent – make sure you ask each of them during the season how it’s going!

Mr. B – McDonald’s (AUUGGHH!!!!) and Starbucks
Jacob – Smarties candy
Lillian – All desserts
Julia – McDonald’s toys
Daniel – Eating school lunch
Gillian – All candy
Kameron – All desserts
Karling – Not giving up – but putting a ‘tax’ on each hour spent listening to music
Zach – McDonald’s

This should be a good test for all of us. Remember – Lent is a time of rejuvenation and preparing for the ultimate sacrifice. Our small sacrifice of giving up one thing should remind us constantly of what God gave up for us.

Good luck!

Mr. B
