Tearfund's One Voice prayer week runs from 26th February to 4th March. Christians around the globe are uniting to pray for the workd, seeing prayer as a powerful tool to challenge injustice and combat poverty.
As part of this week, Tearfund are inviting supporters to join in with the Rice and Beans Challenge. If you are finding the Diocesan Lent Challenge a bit tame, the Rice and Beans Challenge could be the one for you!
Put simply the Rice and Beans Challenge is a chance to catch a glimpse of what life must be like for those who only have access to the most basic foodstuffs by choosing to restrict you diet for 5 days. The suggested menu for the 5 days is very simple
Breakfast - 1/2 cup of oats, one cup of water made into porridge
Lunch and Dinner - each meal 1oz dried beans (equivalent to 2 1/2 oz cooked beans)
1 1/4 oz dried rice ( equivalent to 3 3/14 oz cooked rice)
You can add about one heaped tablespoon of vegetables to your meal as well.

Welcome to the blogspot for the Diocese of Sheffield Lent Challenge. We are inviting Christians across the Diocese to reduce the amount of meat they eat this Lent by eating a vegetarian (no meat or fish) diet at least one day per week. If you look around you will find links explaining why we have chosen this challenge and how you can join in.
