Every Lent, we invite parents to join their children in a Lenten act of worship, where they can help their children to reflect on how best to prepare for Easter. Each child then creates thier Lenten promise.
Following the start of Lent over the half term holidays, the children spent this week reflecting on their Lenten promises. We shared the Gospel of Mark and made individual Lenten promises.
"The Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness and he remained there for forty days, and was tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels looked after him. After John the Baptist had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee. There he proclaimed the Good News from God. “The time has come,” he said, “and the Kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News.”
It's not until it'gone that you realise how much you miss it! Just before the start of the Autumn term 2023, we were informed that our school hall had to be sectioned off and put out of use due to the presence of RAAC! Undeterred, we adapted and kept our celebrations of the word going even in these difficult circumstances!
By makin the most of the fine weather and re-introducing Zoom, we were able to keep celebrating together each week thorught these difficult times.
