Each day in Lent the liturgy leaders will lead a Lenten reflection based on the CAFOD resources. This time of prayerful reflection on the weekly Gospel uses a variety of prayer styles and worship to ensure engagement from pupils and provides them with experience of new ways of praying

Lent in a bag

Throughout the forty days of Lent we remember the time Jesus spent in the wilderness. To help us focus our thoughts and reflections each week we have introduced ‘Lent in a Bag’. ‘Lent in a Bag’ helps us to consider what we need to journey through the wilderness together. The ‘Lent in a Bag’ bags are distributed to each class every week and the items are added to the class prayer focus area during the first daily reflection of the week. Each bag also includes guidance sheets to help direct peoples thoughts and reflections. ‘Lent in a Bag’ helps us to consider what we need to journey through that wilderness and reflect upon what might help us when we find ourselves facing a difficult time in our own lives.

LENT BAG - a small paper carrier bag each containing one of the following

BAG 1: A small amount of sand and stones.

BAG 2: Tea lights

BAG 3: Bread type wafers or crackers.

BAG 4: Small wooden cross

BAG 5: A nail 

Stations of the Cross

Mrs George will be spending Wednesday 20th March leading the children in reflection of the Stations of the Cross in church.  The Stations of the Cross introduce children to Jesus’ Passion, breaking it down into stages that they can reflect upon and remember.
