In our worship this week, I want us to think about fasting. It is something understood well by many but not so well understood by others. As some of our school family are already undertaking fasting during the holy montyh of of Ramadan and Christians are about to commence 40 days of preparation for Easter, it is a good time to stop and coinsider what fasting is, why people do it and to learn more about Lent & Ramadan.
As always, please share your thoughts in the comments.

It is very interesting that both Ramadan and Lent overlap this year. It is important that we identify that by giving up things we may enjoy we can become closer to God and actually gain something positive!
Have a lovely week everyone!

We discussed why it is good to give things up. We thought it makes you think about what you actually need and what you don't nee and It makes you think about others and what they might not have.

We loved learning about different religions and how they all fast. We also loved learning about how giving up things like food or clothes helps you gain better things and makes you a better person.

Even though there are many different religions, we are similar in lots of ways like us fasting this week.
