st. mark's, what do you do leading up to easter from holy week? >> well, during the season of leapt we have mid-week services so we add services mid-week on wednesdays. we also have a light soup supper, simple meal, people can come for that. and after the service we have a bible study on the last seven words of christ. so again, just meditation and opportunities for people to refocus, recalibrate their lives on what god is calling them do and be. and you know, i'm finding people are hungry for this in the midst of distractions in the midst of anxiety over politics and war and life. this is a time to remind ourselves of the promises of god. and certainly lent originally in the early christian communities was a time for bap 'tistismal preparation. so it was a time of preparation, also a time of repentance, turning around, turning back to god. god has never turned god's back on us, but we turn around and realize that god has been there for us all along. >> when does lent end? >> it ebdz end at holy week, the great week before easter, it ends on munda
