Ship of Fools: 40 Ideas for Lent
This has been around for a while but I've only just spotted it! A list of creative ideas for prayer, thought and action during Lent. Follow these individually or in a group - or why not create your own and post them on a blog so that others can follow them?

I invite you to share your own ideas, tips and resources for reflection during Lent on this blog or on the SCM forum thread! In fact, if we come up with enough suggestions we can have our very own SCM: 40 Ideas for Lent - there's a challenge for you!
