Lent 4.5: Gratitude and Genersity

Gratitude and Generosity will be the topic for the Lent 4.5 discussion at 7 p.m. Monday in the Parish Activity Center. The seven-week program called Lent 4.5 Christian Simplicity considers practical ways to abstain from habits and choices that harm the earth.

The ''4.5'' in the title refers to the number of acres each person on Earth would receive if it were divided equally among all people. Based on a measuring tool called Global Footprint, people in the United States use an average 22.3 acres to support their lifestyle.
