The Diocese of Leeds and the Church of England have events, retreats and resources to help churches and individuals draw near to God and one another this Lent.

This Lent our area bishops will be hosting Lent retreats or quiet days in different venues throughout the diocese. 

The retreats will offer space for prayer, silence, Bible study, reflection and meaningful conversations. 

Everyone is warmly invited to attend one of these days, with all welcome at each day, regardless of which episcopal area people are in.

The Rt Revd Toby Howarth, acting Bishop of Leeds, said: “As bishops in the Diocese of Leeds we are looking forward to sharing these retreats with you. 

“They are a valuable opportunity to seek to deepen our connection with Jesus and one another.”
