The Coronavirus Novena While we face the coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for His healing, His help and His protection. We will pray for all who are affected, for all who are sick and suffering, for all those who work in the medical profession, and for those who have died as well as for their grieving family members

Week beginning Monday 1st March

Assembly 1st March Changing Faces

Daily Prayers This week in our prayers, children will consider how every moment is a new beginning. Every moment we have a choice about how to behave. Every moment we can make a choice to follow Jesus and become more like Him. And thankfully, we are offered endless opportunities to start again – to have a new beginning.

Week beginning 22nd February

This week, we are praying with Matthew’s Gospel which describes Jesus’ temptation in the desert. Each Lent this story is presented and so children will be familiar with it – the challenge each year is to hear it in a fresh, new way.

But God’s word is living and active and so we can have confidence that God will help children to recognise in a new way that Jesus was tempted just like we are and that He models how to resist temptation by trusting in God’s love for us.

This week’s prayers help children to reflect on the ways they are tempted in similar ways to Jesus and how Jesus wants to help them to resist temptation and become more like the people God has created them to be.
