I was brought up Cumberland Presbyterian and now I am Methodist and we celebrate ash Wednesday. We leave the church with a cross on our foreheads made with ashes. Personally I try to give up something for lent every year even though that is not part of our religion.

I agree with everyone else about being motivated to go. It does help to have a church family that will encourage you to attend and it also helps to go to church where you feel welcome.

Good luck.
