For those of you who are religious or have a spiritual practice, I encourage you to check out this webpage to learn more about the weekend and how you can participate. As a Christian, I was glad to stumble upon this webpage. Not only was I glad to see an official event, but I am planning to participate in some way. As you can see there are several options available, from something as simple as a prayer to learning ways to personally help others. If you are looking at participating in this weekend, how would you like to do so? How can you pass this event along to others? I look forward to hearing about what you might be planning to do.
