Lent Challenge -Wednesday 5th
Today’s challenge: If you can, attend the Reconciliation Service taking place on Wednesday 5 April at 7.00pm in St Andrew’s Church. (See you there!)
“This is a great opportunity for us to come together during Lent to acknowledge our sinfulness and celebrate God’s mercy in our lives, both individually and as a community. Fr Tony will lead a short service of Scripture reading, reflection and music. The service will end with individual confessions with one of the five priests available, after which you will be free to leave. A brief Examination of Conscience is offered on the insert in this week’s newsletter to assist in preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.”
This you tube clip is a fantastic way to remind children and adults alike about how to go to Confession:

Lent Challenge – Thursday 30th
Today’s challenge: Fast from words and be silent so you can listen. Open your heart to God.
Be quiet. Be still.
Find what friends and family come to mind and listen to what God tells you about them. Think of situations in life and consider the Holy Spirit’s guidance and advice.
Drive or walk to school / work in silence.
Cut back on Facebook, text messaging, technology to make space for God’s voice.
Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to open my heart to you in silence.
