This year all our Lent prayers have again been written by individuals who have an involvement with the Church Urban Fund. The prayers reflect the different perspectives they hold as people working with or living in the poorest  communities in England.

 

Alongside the prayers we have included a verse for the week plus practical actions that can be done over the period of Lent. Each week also has information on a project that the Church Urban Fund supports.

 

We hope all the information, suggested actions and prayers will help you to capture more of God's heart for the poorest and most marginalised people within our communities.
