Dare To Make A Difference!

Challenge 2010 – this coming Lent our Bishops, led by the new Bishop of St Albans, Bishop Alan Smith, are challenging people to:

"Dare to make a difference
in your life
in your community
in the world
by living the words of Jesus"

The challenge is to explore verses from St Luke’s gospel each day during Lent:

"Read the verse, learn it, pray about it and then do something to make a difference"

To make the Challenge available to as many people as possible, a dedicated website, www.challenge2010.org, has been set up to distribute the the verses (via email, text, or download), and to allow those with busy lives to do the "thinking and praying" part of the challenge on-line via the "Twitter" social network. More adventurous types can even upload video clips of what they've done to make a difference!

"Challenge 2010 is not simply something to do on your own - you can make the most of it by sharing your thoughts and ideas on the Challenge 2010 website or by getting together to discuss what you are learning and seeking to do. In the weeks before and during Lent you will find plenty of suggestions and ideas on the Challenge 2010 website to help you do this at church, at school or amongst your friends"

The website is available now - please visit it and register so that you can receive the verses by your preferred method and take part in this exciting challenge.

Our benefice will be making the downloaded verses available in printed form for those who do not have access to the internet.
