A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Tom

Dear Friends,

I am very pleased to be able to write to you once again about the Lent Call.

In Lent we are given an opportunity to reflect on our call to discipleship both as individuals and through our membership of the world-wide Church. It is also a time when we might give some thought to personal sacrifice and of how we might help those who are less well off than ourselves. The Lent appeal offers us an opportunity to share in giving to others in different parts of the world.

Four projects from around the world have been selected to benefit from money raised this year. They are:

• Under Tree Schools, Sudan
• Centro Social Alvorada, Brazil
• Cry in the Dark, Romania
• The Salmon Centre, Bermondsey

May I commend these projects to you and assure you of my prayers for a holy Lent.

With best wishes

Grace and Peace
