Next week we celebrate Ash Wednesday and begin the season of Lent.  We have multiple resources here at Plymouth to walk with during this season of preparation.

At the Plymouth front office you can find a copy of "! Give It Up", the 2012 Lenten devotional from the Stillspeaking Writers' Group (check out the video).

We also have resources for children (ages 8-12) in the Plymouth library that connect to Lenten themes of discipleship, friendship, and family (themes that connect to the Sunday school curriculum).  Suzanne Sanderson, the Plymouth Librarian, has compiled this list of books available in the Plymouth library for our young readers.
