Collective Worship 20.2.23 – Reverend Darleen – Lent

Today Reverend Darleen talked to the children about the festival of Lent, a 40-day period where Christians remember the time leading up to and including Jesus’s death. (Click here for more information.)

Three times the Devil tempted Jesus to make bad choices, but each time he refused even though it would have made his life easier. Lent is a great time to think about the choices we make. Reverend Darleen said that we do not have to give up something – e.g. chocolate – for Lent just for the sake of it. “God doesn’t want you to be miserable!” It’s better to give something up for a purpose – e.g. give up time to help out at home.
