Lenten theme suggestions?

[KagomeShuko]

Our pastor asks, what do we want as a lenten theme? We are going to have worship services, but what should be our overall theme?

I've not been able to think of anything, especially with all this concert stuff and then the extravaganza in February.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

How about "Christ suffered and died for our sins?"

I agree with CWM. If Lent is not focusing on the Passion of the Christ leading up to the Crucifixion and finally the resurrection of Christ than what is the point of observing it?
