Y5 RE: Desert to Garden

Back to News
27th Feb 2026

Our Y5 chaplains prepared our prayer table for the new RE 'Desert to Garden' unit as a suitable focus for us to pause, reflect and pray as part of opur Lenten preparations. During this time we reflect on Jesus fasting and praying in the desert; a special time when He was particularly close to his Father. Taking his example we are trying to use the season to think carefully about how we can also stay close to our Father.
