Yes. Like the Catholics, the United Methodists begin Lent on Ash Wednesday and continue celebrating lent until Easter. The United Methodists view Lent as a way to slow down and focus on God, so many Methodists will give up foods or activities for Lent. The purpose of giving something up is to find more time to focus on God. Most Methodists do not feel obligated to give up meat on Fridays; however, some will.
