FROM THE REC

Yesterday we acknowledged the beginning of the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday liturgy in our St Mary’s church. 

Year 5/6 shone as they hosted a reverant liturgy with some local parishioners in attendance. 

The season of Lent lasts 40 days to represent the amount of time Jesus spent in the desert — fasting and preparing for his ministry — and to remember this, many Christians choose to make a promise of their own over those 40 days. Luxuries like dessert or chocolate are commonly given up for Lent, or Christians may perform acts of kindness for others through volunteer work throughout the Lenten season, right up until Easter Sunday and beyond. 

Students have been asked to think about their own Lenten promises during the past few days. They have been encouraged to decide if they would like to give up something or do more of something and be more for others during Lent. 

During the next 40 days of Lent, what might you like to do more or less of?

I hope you all have a wonderful evening at our Welcome BBQ, unfortunately I will not be there as I am in Canberra for professional development. Enjoy!
