Story

My Lent Challenge to parishes this year draws on our diocesan vision, Transforming Church, Transforming Lives, and especially on the theological themes that underpin it: Prayer; The Mission of God; Kingdom and Church; Transformation; Growth and The People of God.

Your generosity during last year’s Lent appeal raised well over £20,000 for those less fortunate both within the diocese and abroad. Please join me in praying, serving and giving during Lent again this year.

Donations to this year’s Lent Challenge will be shared between the Bishop of Guildford's Foundation - supporting those most in need of help in our own diocese - and the Church of Nigeria's pure water plant project - producing clean water and income in the Diocese of Kebbi.

You can find out more about how to take part in my Lent Challenge in leaflets in all of our churches or by visiting our website www.cofeguildford.org.uk/lent

Blessings,

Bishop Andrew
