40 Days of Kindness for Lent

This Lent, let us reflect on God’s outrageous love and his generosity to us - and respond.
An Act of Kindness
Posted February 13, 2024

We're doing something pretty special for Lent this year:  40 Acts of Kindness over the 40 Days, with each act inspired by Scripture.

What better way to prepare us for Easter, than to extend the grace that God so fully poured out on us. Let us reach out to our communities with kindness and through our display of love, care and generosity, may we make the goodness of our God known.

One small, significant act at a time.

'Our God is infinitely kind and generous,' says IHQ's Spiritual Life Development, which created this resource. 'He is looking for us to follow his example, to give freely and abundantly to others. Not expecting reward, recognition or anything in return

'In this world, kindness is often mistaken for weakness. But the Bible says otherwise. Kindness is powerful.'

This Lent, be generous with the time, skills and resources God has given you. Join the campaign for kindness.

From 14 February, for 40 days, we take on 40 acts for others and we invite you to do the same.

‘God has shown us his love by sending his only Son into the world so that we could have life through him.’
 1 John 4:9 GWT
