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 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.

The projects from around the world that have been selected to benefit from money raised are:

• Yangon Village School – Myanmar

• Music School – Trinidad and Tobago

• ZimPro Vegetable Gardens - Zimbabwe

• Water Action – Ethiopia
  (A contribution releases further funds from Governmental sources)

• Helen Keller Hospital - Jerusalem

• Robes Project – South London

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

With best wishes

Grace and peace
