Lent resource from CIYD
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday 26 February, and Fuel is the Church of Ireland Youth Department’s free Lent resource for young people.
Fuel will help them engage with the Bible – to understand what they are reading, and to think about what the Bible is saying and teaching. Space is also provided for writing down notes, prayers and thoughts.
The journal runs to 50 days to encourage readers to continue with the habits which they have started over Lent.
National Youth Officer Simon Henry says: ‘From my own experience as a former youth worker in a parish for 10 years, I have seen the impact of encouraging regular Bible reading habits. I often said to young people: “If you want to hear from God, open your Bible because he speaks to us on every page.”’
The booklet includes a reading plan for John’s Gospel and a 50–page journal. Fuel is free and copies are available from the CIYD office in Belfast (by email at admin@ciyd.org), and from diocesan youth officers and youth council representatives.
