I'm looking forward to finding out this Sunday!  I haven't been to my church in several months, and they've since hired a new minister who may have some new/different ideas for the "celebration" of lent.

I will omit discussion of the role of music, liturgical prayers, and preaching and just focus on 5 practices.

(1) Ecumenical Ash Wednesday service witht he application of the Ash (a joint service with the Lutherans and UCC (United Church of Christ)

(2) Ecumenical Holy Thursday (= Maundy Thursday) srrvice with the same churches: 

(a) Sometimes, those present have their feet washed as in John 13. 

(b) Then the people sit in groups of 12 at a Communion table with 12 candles and a central Christ candle and are served Communion there, while the rest listen to soft sacred music and meditate in their seats.. 

(c ) The service proceeds to Tenebrae readings.  That is, the Passion narrative is read in 12 sections with the lights out with 12 lit candles and 1  Christ candle at a table.  Each of the 12 readers blows out her candle after finishing the reading.  When the last candle is blown out, the Christ candle in the center is hidden and a harsh noise or gong is sounded in the darkness to signify Jesus' death. 

(3) Good Friday: Typically we host a prayer vigil (sometimes ecumenical) from noon to 3 PM, the hours during which Jesus hangs on the cross.  People can leave their seats to meditate at stations of the cross or to come forward and kneel on cushions or a kneeler before our large life-size wooden cross.

(4) Easter Sunday begns with an outdoor sunrise service (too early for me to attend when I have to do 2 later morning services!).  After our contemporary service (9 AM)k, a large outdoor and indoor  Easter egg hunt entertains our children.  The second service begins at 10:30 AM with a child running down the central aisle and shouting, "He's alive!  He's alive!  I've been to the  tomb and He's not there any more!  Our women have seen Him alive!"  The rest of our second service is quite conventional.     

(5) This year, we will also have a weekly Lenten Bible study led by a competent lay leader. 

For children ( as a teaching tool) that the congregation looked foreward each week was the Lady of Lent Calendar.

It was simply made out of felt on any kind of background.

The Lady had a purple dress ( I'm sorry colour); closed eyes in prayer; folded arms in prayer( like a pretzel); no mouth ( fasting); earrings with a 4 in one ear and a 0 in the other ( 40days); and seven feet( one for each Sunday and one for Holy Saturday)

A foot is turned up each Sunday and the traditions of Lent are talked about.

It has been awhile but I still hear people talking about the Lady and how much they looked forward to it. I don't think they have used it since I retired.

Although we've never done anything for Lent before, this year our pastor has decided we need to learn more about it, so he and I will be giving a series of 5-minute talks about it during the regular Sunday worship service. We did a similar kind of thing last Christmas on the theme of advent, and it went over well.
