As Kimberly is on maternity leave it is Lythan's turn to do a challenge. You can find out the latest here. Kim we miss you. Actually I think the rest of the group decided just how much they missed you when I posted this challenge.
Lent.
I thought it would be a decently tough challenge but I honestly hadn't realised how much. Although the denomination I am part of (United Reformed Church) doesn't make a huge deal out of Lent, it is part of our cycle of the Church year. I took it for granted that all denominations use the various elements of the Church year as a hook to hang certain ideas of discipleship. So I have learnt something new. Its actually been a good experience as we have reflected why we think Lent is or isn't important for faith. Although I promise to give a simpler theme next time. Something like transubstantiation maybe. Kidding, just kidding.
For those who want to learn more about Lent - look here for a brief summary
Here are our attempts to express our views of Lent creatively. We pray that our challenges are a blessing to you and ask that if you'd like to create a "Lent" themed project to leave a comment, with a link back to your gallery or blog, so that we might share with you!

Oh, Lythan, I laughed to see your post - you have a great sense of humor!
I actually have done the last three challenges, but only finished them hours before the deadline. I was DETERMINED that the next challenge would be done immediately ... and then I saw your chosen subject. LOL!!! I think it's a great one, but wow, so much for doing it immediately, this is going to take some thinking!

It is interesting to see the different and unique way each of your present your theme. This is certainly a challenging topic and we have also taken delight in exploring it on the Scrap of Faith site also. I am always encouraged and inspired when I visit your blog.
Amazing, I actually finished this one on time! It definitely was a challenge, but I really loved the thoughts in provoked!
