Two Lent resources on your mobile:
Develop a daily connection with God
Connect with God with the new Everyday Faith app. Journey daily with reflections to inspire, equip and encourage you in your everyday faith. Everyday Faith is the new daily devotional app from the Church of England designed to inspire, equip and encourage you in your faith every day of the week, not just on Sundays.
Everyday Faith is now available to download for iOS and Android. Go to the App Store or Google Play to download
With the Lectio 365 app you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them. This is a sustainable and life-giving model of spiritual formation and prayer for ordinary people. Jesus and his early followers paused to pray three times a day, and you can join in with this ancient rhythm and pray like Jesus did, with three short prayer times each day, easily accessible on your phone.
When you pause in his presence, you create space for peace in a busy and complicated world.
Lectio 365 is now available to download for iOS and Android. Go to the App Store or Google Play to download
