Currently one of the most visited page on this site is “Ash Wednesday”. People are starting to seriously prepare for Lent. Please add in the comments section below your ideas, resources, websites, hymns, prayers – anything which will help us all, together, in our preparations for Lent. Here are some links to start off:
Shrove Tuesday – the Tuesday prior to Lent (Tuesday Feb 16 2010)
Ash Wednesday – A Service for the Beginning of Lent
A few simple suggestion during Lent
What is Lent – especially translating it to the Southern Hemisphere
Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday)
For communities that follow a catechumenal process in which Lent is central:
Lenten preparation (catechumenate)
receiving the Lord’s Prayer (catechumenate)
receiving the creed (catechumenate)
enrolment for baptism (catechumenate)
Grace and Peace!
I developed a fasting and prayer guide for my congregation. Everyone is welcome to use as much or as little as you need. Blessings.
It’s available here: http://www.ibelin.me/2010/02/03/resource-for-fasting-and-prayer/
Here’s one:
A Lenten Calendar for children and youth.This year, the design is in the form of a board game and journey. The calendar is 11″ x 17″ and can be printed in-house on either a color or black and white copier. Or, you can have them printed at your local printer. The calendar connects our blessings to the needs of the
world. You can use it to collect pennies for Haiti or other needs.
The calendar is at http://www.myfaithmylife.org under “Favorite Calendar.”

Hi Bosco,
Thanks for this awesome resource.
I thought you, and your readers, might like to know that I’m posting resources for worship, based on the Revised Common Lectionary for the whole of Lent (and the rest of the year). They include reflections on the Scriptures, prayers, hymn suggestions and links to other helpful resources on the web. find it here: http://www.sacredise.com/lectionary
