Lent Challenges
As a church school, we celebrate Lent in order to remind ourselves of the 40 day fasting period that Jesus went through before beginning his work for God. Jesus went into the desert to fast and was tempted several times by Satan to break his fast, but he resisted. In order to remember Jesus' sacrifice, Lent is a time that Christians give things up as a show of self-discipline.
At High Wycombe Church of England School, we choose to give back as well. This year we are highlighting our Courageous Advocacy Projects and will spend a week working on each project, where we aim to 'be the change' in our school and wider community.
Our prayer for Lent:
Dear God,
Help us each day to learn what is right.
Please protect us when we are tempted to do wrong things.
Please help us to be strong and courageous so we can live good lives, caring about other people.
Amen.
