We had our own class prayer service today. First we changed our prayer table cloth to purple and then we did a short prayer service. The children got ashes on their forehead in the shape of a cross. We talked about the cross being a reminder that God loves us and forgives us even when we don't behave like we should.
During Lent our focus is on doing good deeds for others and helping our hearts to grow bigger with love.
In the mail bags are Lenten crosses that are to encourage your child to do good deeds at home.
Also in the bag is a Holy Childhood collection box for spare coins to collect during Lent, for those less fortunate. Please keep at home until Holy Week.
