Lent 2025
A brand new free collective worship resource for Lent 2025 aimed at KS2 and KS3 learners. There is 6 weeks of content, designed to run from the 24th February 2025, in the 6 weeks before the school Easter holidays. However, Lent officially starts on Wednesday 5th March. The resource is flexible and you may wish to do all 6 weeks condensed into 4 weeks, or choose only 4 themes to deliver.
Key themes
Trusting
Hope in the Wilderness
Together
Hope on the Water
Imperfect
Hope at the last supper

Living hope
We’re excited to help pupils to stop, pause and reflect on what it means to have and be a living hope.
In the Bible Jesus says ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’. John 14:6. For Christians this message is a key part of the Easter story, that Jesus came to Earth to bring hope and to offer people a new way of living life and coming closer to God.
Living Hope will take pupils on a journey through Lent reflecting on Jesus’ ministry and his message of hope for all people.
Each week there is:
Liturgical suggestions
Bible passage activity
Video exploration
Practical and prayerful actions
Prayer
Additional ideas for connecting home, church and school
Alongside this collective worship resource, the Church of England have produced a daily reflections booklet for adults (CHP) and a daily challenge booklet for children and families (CHP). Find out more here: Living Hope.
