Ash Wednesday Celebration of the Word

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. During Lent we are asked to try to change, to become better versions of ourselves. We can do this by trying to be more like Jesus.

Today our Liturgy Leaders planned and delivered a child-led liturgy for Ash Wednesday. They thought carefully about the aspects of worship gather, listen, respond and go forth and planed a reverent celebration of the word.

They asked the rest of the school to think about how during Lent they are going to do three things: to spend more time in prayer so that we can get to know Jesus better, to fast from something that is keeping us from being the kind of person that Jesus wants us to be and to help those who are in need. Pray, fast and almsgiving.
