Good morning group! Today is Ash Wednesday is the first day of the penitential season of Lent, in which ashes are placed on the head or forehead of the faithful. It is a fast day of fasting and abstinance, and the start of our Lenten challenges.
Challenge today: As you fast, think of all those in the world who do not have enough food. As today is an almsgiving day, donate money or food to your local food bank and help those in your area to have a healthy dinner tonight.
