before Easter is known as Lent. (We don’t count the Sundays.)

When does Lent start?
Lent is like a journey
A journey to meet God
A time to get to know God better
To know his great love for us
The journey lasts for 6 weeks
The journey begins on Ash Wednesday
What happens the day before Ash Wednesday?
On Ash Wednesday
• We receive ashes on our foreheads.• This is a sign of God’s love for us.• It reminds us that one day we will be
with him forever in heaven.
During the 6 weeks of Lent we can try to get to know God
better by
Praying
Giving something up
Being kind to others
These are the special 3 ways to learn to love God more –
• Prayer

Sometimes we can’t do what we would like to do
But God sees us tryingand will help us to start again
