A Moment for Mission
Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to God, for God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.

Safety Update - Feb. 21-25
This week we had no new positive cases. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school. It also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.
- Numbers as they stand today (at least one dose of COVID vaccine):
- Students: 70.67%
- Co-workers: 92.0%

Lent
This year our Lenten theme is, “Share your light through words and actions.” We would like to pray and reflect on how Jesus’ journey to the cross mirrors our need to belong in community. We are inviting everyone in our community to pray and reflect on the words that surfaced during our discussion on belonging. How can we embrace the true meaning of these words to create a culture of belonging and to encourage and build one another up during this lenten season? How can we follow Jesus’ example? Every day our morning Lenten prayer will focus on one word that was discussed in our belonging conversations. Afternoon prayer will be a reflection question on this word and a minute of silent prayer.
