The season of Lent which precedes Easter begins tomorrow (I think!) [correction: it begins Thursday - read Cheryl's explanation by clicking on comments]. If you are interested in reading more about Lent, check out the "Lent" entry in the Catholic Encyclopedia.
Typically, the Sabbath day is a day 'off' from whatever you are fasting from throughout Lent. If you consider Sunday your Sabbath, we would love to provide whatever you are fasting from! For example, if you are fasting from chocolate for Lent, it would be great to have chocolate for snacks at TILT for your Sabbath enjoyment! So, either post a comment here or let us know at TILT!
Spring Garden will also have a labyrinth walk available for public use throughout the Lent season. Read a bit about labyrinths here. Here are the weekly days, times and locations:
- Mondays | 12noon- 4pm | Cloakroom, multi-purpose room
- Tuesdays | 9am- 4pm | Lounge, multi-purpose room
- Thursdays | 12 noon- 9 pm | Boardroom
- Fridays | 9am-3pm | Boardroom, multi-purpose room
- Saturdays | 1pm-4pm | Boardroom, multi-purpose room
- Sundays | 1pm-8:30 pm | Boardroom, Cloakroom

The official start of Lent is Thursday, Feb 22.
40 days before Easter.
So, there's still 2 days to prepare.
Tuesday is pancake day, last day to fatten up before the fast.
Wednesday (Ash Wed) is the day the palm branches are burned from last Easter and the ashes are put on the forehead. Representing an identifying mark.
Thanks Scott for gathering all the info.
Thanks for the corrections, Cheryl! Hmmm...pancakes...
I am giving up cheese everyone!! It is definately my fave food and will be quite a sacrifice!
Nice Becki!
For an interesting article, read http://globeandmail.com/factsandarguments/
I'm not sure if you need to be registered for it to work...let me know.
Now, Greg can correct me on this, but I believe on your Sabbath throughout Lent you are able to partake in what you are fasting from...So...Becki, what's your favourite cheese? And would you like to enjoy it at TILT on Sundays?

Hey friends! Mon and I have are fasting from chocolate for Lent... potentially one of our biggest vices! Plus we are trying to have one designated day a week where we give up work! Since Sundays are a long work day for me (and us) our Sabbath will be another day of the week. And no Scott, that doesn't mean you can work us harder because of it on the other 6 days!
