Mardi Gras, Carnival, Carnevale or Karnaval are some names for Ash Wednesday Eve, One day of excess before the start of a season of traditional fasting , denial and and sacrifice.
My Church, Grace Community Church , is now in the midst of as fast from sunset today until sunset tomorrow. We are doing so partially for a practical matter,Our Church does not have its' own building. We meet in An Aerlington, Va Middle School on Sundays and we have our During- The Week- Service at Church that is available to us on Tuesday nights.
I so think that there is a certain sense where we are currently fasting because we are led by and offer service to God rather than being dictated to by the world!
