Lent resources 2025

Resources from our national Member Churches and partner organisations. Collected together in one place...

We will continue to add new links to this page in the run-up to Lent 2025. If your Churches Together group has a resource you would like to recommend and share please get in touch with Sarah in the CTE Team.

Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI)

Christian Unity in a Fragmenting World – This Lenten Resource follows on from the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity theme this year, which invites us to explore together the enduring relevance of the first ecumenical council of the Church which took place in Nicaea 1700 years ago.

It is a significant moment of shared history in our journey towards unity. The Council gave rise to the adoption of the Nicene Creed, which is still a central statement of faith for many – although not all – Christians. Paths have diverged since then with schisms and the establishment of new churches and movements within the Christian family.

The Nicaea 1700 anniversary this year, coinciding with the shared celebration of Easter, provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the progress of our ecumenical journey, deepening our relationships and renewing our vision and commitment. Download the resources…

This year AIF is offering two Lent courses. One course is for Churches or  Churches Together groups to use, though any group or individual is invited to use it too. The other course is for Interchurch Family members, or those in or from Interchurch families to use as a personal Lent course. Download the resources…

Church of England

The Church of England’s Lent theme for 2025 is Living Hope. God invites us to bring to him on our own journey through everyday life. In the disappointment of daily setbacks and the pain of deeper hurts, we discover that God is present with us. And God promises a future where all things are healed and made new.  

Living Hope offers us the opportunity to deepen our hope in God and be part of what God is doing to bring hope in the world. Explore the resources…
