Lent Assignments for 6A


Lent Assignments for Spring Break
(I know, I know but it’s just two and Lent ends when Spring break does!)

Part of Lent is the giving of Alms.
a.       Find out the definition of Alms; write it in your book.
b.      Research an organization or place near to where you live that you could participate in the giving of Alms.
c.       Record why you would give Alms at that organization or place.
d.      Come up with something your parents can pay you for doing around the house.
e.      Take that payment and give it as Alms.
f.        Reflect on what it felt like to work for something and then give it away.

   The end of Lent is Easter Sunday (record the answers to these in your journal.)
a.       How is Easter celebrated in your household?
b.      How is it different than Christmas?
c.       What do we celebrate at Easter?
d.      Does how you celebrate Easter make you think about its true meaning?
e.      Brainstorm a few things your family could do on Easter that would help you to focus on the gift of the resurrection of Jesus from the grave.



      I'm very proud of all of you that participated in Lent in any capacity. I know it was difficult, you did a great job!

Christmas Buddies!

I know the Christmas Season has passed us by but here's a little glimpse into what our Surrey Christian Community was up to: Making sure our little buddies spread some joy and cheer to their older more "mature" buddies and letting those big buddies see the season through slightly smaller eyes and a shorter perspective.

Buddies UNITE!
