c.       Record why you would give Alms at that organization or place.

d.      Come up with something your parents can pay you for doing around the house.

e.      Take that payment and give it as Alms.

   The end of Lent is Easter Sunday (record the answers to these in your journal.)

b.      How is it different than Christmas?

c.       What do we celebrate at Easter?

d.      Does how you celebrate Easter make you think about its true meaning?
