Using paint to create footprints, the children reflected on what it means to **follow in Jesus’ footsteps** during this special season. As each child made their footprint, they paused to pray together: **“Lord, help us walk closer to You this Lent.”** It was a thoughtful and reflective activity that encouraged the children to focus on faith, prayer, and drawing closer to Jesus. A truly meaningful start to Lent — well done, Year 5/6!
