This week, our Lent reflections continue with the Bishop of Bolton, Matthew Porter, on 'sharing in prayer'.

At the top, the text reads "Draw Near," and a Bible verse "‘Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God’ - Joel 2:12.

To mark the start of Lent, on #EverydayFaith, The Rev Dr Matthew Salisbury guides us through exploring how to return to God with all our heart, as Joel urges, to declare who God is and who we are before him.

Sorry, I think you've tagged the wrong publisher...

St George’s Day: Along with many other churches, we don't keep saints’ days during Easter Week. When St George’s Day or St Mark’s Day falls between Palm Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter inclusive, it is transferred to the Monday after the Second Sunday of Easter. If both fall in this period, St George’s Day is transferred to the Monday and St Mark’s Day to the Tuesday. That means that this year, St George's Day falls on 28 April 2025.

This year the feast day of St George falls on 28 April 2025.

Why will the Church celebrate St George’s Day on a different day this year?🤔

The @churchofengland.org Lent theme for 2025 is Living Hope. It offers us the opportunity to deepen our hope in God and be part of what God is doing to bring hope in the world.
