Anglican Missions Lenten Appeal 2025

As we once again turn our attention to the wonderful Easter story and journey of Lent, we know that you, in your parishes, ministry units and communities, are guiding and encouraging your people on that journey with love and dedication.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside you. The church has always been an example of radical generosity, and Anglican Missions is honoured to have a place in that church.

This year, as we come together for the 2025 Lenten Appeal, we invite you to extend that generosity even further. We’re focusing our appeal on two places with different, but equally urgent needs. You can read about them below, but they're both equally powerful ways to demonstrate what Jesus said in Mathew 25: 35-40:

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

To make it easy to get involved, we’ve created some simple, hands-on resources—including our special Lenten Appeal stickers. You can stick these onto a collection vessel of your choice - an old jar or tin or even something handmade. We'd love to see your creativity, so send us some photos!

These stickers are in the mail heading towards your parish now, and we pray that you and your church/community can rally with a generous spirit around these two incredible causes.

We also have a range of digital resources which we encourage you to print or display in your own settings - powerpoint slides, posters, social media images and lots more. However you engage with our appeal, even with a few coins, remember this - every cent that you give is a seed that can be planted into the lives of people who need it the most.
