From The REC 

Loving God, 

As we journey through Lent, help us to grow closer to You.

Teach us to be kind, to share with others, and to pray with open hearts.

Give us strength to make good choices and to follow Jesus' example of love and sacrifice.

May this season of Lent help us to be more patient, forgiving, and caring.

Bless our school, our families, and our friends,

And guide us to Easter with joyful hearts.

Amen.
