The Bishop of Guildford's Lent Call 2010

Total raised so far £19,656.22 +GiftAid

The 2010 Lent Call continues the established – and traditional - pattern of a call to Prayer, Fasting and Giving.

Lent provides a wonderful opportunity for spiritual reflection and taking stock - and the Lent Call is Bishop Christopher’s invitation to the whole diocese to enjoy a 40-day period of productive discipline, which will benefit individuals, whole parish communities and those who are indeed elsewhere in the diocese and abroad.

Prayer - 2010 looks set to be a year of challenge at many levels, including the political and financial, and the call to Prayer is therefore, as always, timely.

Fasting – This element of Lent Call is strictly for those whose robust health and metabolism enable the sacrifice of a meal to provide a source of strength and resolve.

Giving - the Giving aspect has, once again, a dual focus: the gifts will be split 50/50 between Tearfund ministries in Zimbabwe and three projects in needy – and largely hidden - areas of the diocese being supported by the Bishop of Guildford’s foundation. The Zimbabwe focus is very deliberate as we seek to keep the needs there in view. In 2009, USPG’s ministries there were supported.

A prayer booklet and bookmark, together with envelopes, are expected to be available as this February issue of The Wey is published.
