Bishop Martin's Lent Message 2025

Bishop Martin encourages us to use Lent as a time to reset and refocus on God through prayer, fasting, and acts of kindness. He suggests taking time to pray using the Daily Prayer app or Lectio 365, fasting by giving something up or taking a digital detox, and showing kindness by supporting our Lent Appeal for the Bible College in Morogoro, which funds scholarships for future church leaders. Join us in following Bishop Martin’s call to prayer, fasting, and generosity this Lent. Please give generously. www.cofe-worcester.org.uk/lent-appeal

Bishop John's Lent Appeal for 2024

Bishop John's Lent Appeal 2023

Bishop John’s Lent Appeal in 2023 will be for the Anglican Diocese of Peru. As a country, Peru has had a very turbulent few years. It had one of the world’s highest Covid mortality rates and has experienced considerable political unrest. Strict lockdowns and the financial implications have had a major impact on the Anglican Church. Paying stipends has been difficult, leading to many clergy having to have additional jobs. These pressures have naturally limited what can be done in terms of ministry and mission in poor areas experiencing multiple problems. Our support helps them in these difficult times.
