CRS Rice Bowl Message 2017

The Church gives us a unique opportunity to teach our students how to put their faith into action. Lent—our forty-day journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving—is a special time to encounter ourselves, our neighbors and our God anew.

Is your classroom ready to live out their faith this Lent? Let CRS Rice Bowl serve as your guide, taking your classroom on a forty-day journey around the world.

Each week of Lent, you’ll receive:

• Lesson Plans and Activity Sheets for grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12—find our entire Educator’s Guide here!
• Prayer Services that you can use to begin and end Lent
• Tools to teach Catholic social teaching to students of all ages, including stories of our brothers and sisters from around the world, videos, reflection materials and more!

CRS has made a webpage specifically for educators—find everything you need at crsricebowl.org/schools. And stay tuned for more emails throughout Lent.

In Peace,

Kelly Hickman
CRS Rice Bowl Coordinator for the Archdiocese of Seattle
