The Lent Course 2025
The Diocese of Lincoln’s Lent Course for 2025 is now available to read and download (and its free!).
This Lent Course is designed for individual and group study. It explores prayer through the lens of some of the simplest things we ever learn to say: please; wow; sorry; and ouch.
You will learn how each of these words opens up a different way of thinking about prayer, and different practical approaches to praying.

Diocese of Lincoln Receives National Eco Award
The Diocese of Lincoln has received its first national environmental award for supporting grass-roots climate action and helping local church communities care for the natural world in sustainable ways.
In the Christian faith, nature is part of God’s created order in the universe. Christians believe that people are called to live mindfully as a part of creation, alongside plants and animals, with compassion and care.
The diocese has been praised for meeting, and in some cases exceeding, the challenging award criteria.
**Energy Footprint Tool Returns** open on the 13th January 2025 – now is the time to grab your 2024 energy bills, ready for opening.

From ’10 Top Tips’ Creating a Rhythm of Life
Try a new thing in 2025! ‘Some things might be done daily (praying, keeping a journal), some at least weekly, (time for worship, being with friends), some monthly, (reading a book about faith, participate in theological learning), some may be seasonal, (a Lent course), and some may happen just once a year, (a retreat).’
