By Tracy Simmons SpokaneFAVS.com The Lenten season is already upon us!

Perhaps that means next week your church is having a Shrove Tuesday dinner, followed by Ash Wednesday services on Feb. 22. SpokaneFAVS wants to know about those events! We also want to know about any special Lent services yourorganizationhas planned. And while you’re at it, send me your Easter services time as well.
