Join us as we pray for our communities, foodbanks and volunteer teams throughout Lent.
As Lent begins on Wednesday 5th March, we'd love to invite you to be part of our Lent Prayer Challenge, Hope Loves Nottingham, spending a few minutes a day praying for our foodbanks and community hubs, the volunteers who run them and the people and communities they serve.
Our 14 foodbanks and community hubs all do an incredible job bringing hope to local people right across Nottingham. Each is different, yet united by a common desire to see local people lifted from crisis to hope through compassion, trust and genuine care. Throughout the 40 days of Lent, we encourage you to pray for the work of our foodbanks, the activities we run, the volunteer teams who serve in them and the guests to whom they are so vital. Our foodbanks (read more about them here) are:
Aspley - St Margaret's Church
Beeston - Hope House
Bilborough - Bilborough Library
Broxtowe - St Martha's Church
Carlton - Carlton Community Hub
Chilwell - St Barnabas Church
Meadows - Bridgeway Hall Methodist Mission
Netherfield - Bethesda United Pentecostal Church
Radford (Arboretum) - Covenant Restoration Assembly
Radford (Bobber's Mill) - Mount Zion Apostolic Church
Sneinton - William Booth Memorial Complex
Stapleford - The Haven Church
Stapleford - Montrose Court Church
Wollaton - Grangewood Methodist Church
You may wish to pray for a specific foodbank or activity throughout Lent, pray for them in rotation or maybe pray for all of them at once! However you choose, we appreciate you being part of holding these communities of Hope before God and praying for His blessing upon them.
Prayer suggestions:

2 Corinthians 9:8
