Lent Resources

Excellent resources to help you and your church focus on social justice this Lent season...

Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration of Easter day, the moment when God’s perfect justice is enacted in the death and resurrection of Christ. It is a time to reflect on our practices, both as individuals and as church community, and to develop new habits which will form us in our discipleship journey. There are many resources to help, including the Live Lent: Embracing Justice resources from Church House Publishing. If you are looking for a course, for church, small group, or individual use, check out these fantastic options. Or sign up for all, and let justice roll like a river!

Growing Good for Lent 2022

'We are inviting churches to use the Growing Good Toolkit during Lent - traditionally a time of study when many churches offer small group courses.

Growing Good can help churches grow new connections and make a difference where they live.

Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York has endorsed the resources, saying:

This Lent, the six sessions of the Growing Good Toolkit – developed based on research from CUF and Theos - will help churches grow in faithfulness and fruitfulness. My prayer is that Growing Good will help us become a Church vibrantly fulfilling its mission to form disciples who are called to love their neighbours and seek justice. As Christians, we can’t help but show our love in this way because God, our Heavenly Father, first loved us.

During the Growing Good pilot phase, it was local networks and personal connections that really made a difference in turning promotion into successful sign-ups. It was amazing to see! We would be so grateful if you could help us continue this success by sharing Growing Good as a church resource for Lent 2022 with your local networks.

We hope that the resources in our promotional pack will help you tell local leaders and churches about the Growing Good course and how they can use it in their church/parish this Lent and beyond.

If you need further support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at polly.taylor@cuf.org.uk.'

Going Upstream

If, however you are planning weekend away, retreat or an awayday Going Upstream is a great resource.

Its title comes from a Desmond Tutu quote “We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in”.
