Success for Pancakes and Prayer Lent initiative!
The total raised by the Pancakes and Prayer Lent project has brought in enough money to feed almost 4,000 children in South Sudan for the next year. The project, run by the Church of Ireland Youth Department (CIYD) and the Bishops’ Appeal for World Aid and Development, encouraged youth groups and Sunday schools to get involved in praying for schools in South Sudan during Lent and raising funds – perhaps through giving something up, or by different initiatives within a parish or school community to contribute to the fundraising.
