Lent on your iPhone

The Church of England is bringing Lent to your iPhone, Blackberry, or cell phone this year. For "10 pence a day," you can text he word "Lent" to 64343 to begin receiving daily suggestions for actions from Monday 19 February through to Easter Monday. The messages are simple actions (50 in all) that church leaders hope will encourage kindness across the planet.

Actions include:

• Give up your place to someone in a traffic jam or a queue
• Have a TV-free day and do something you have meant to do for ages
• Take part in an environmental clean up
• Watch the news and pray about what you see
• Leave a £1 coin in the shopping trolley or where someone will find it.
  

The campaign Web site, Love Life Live Lent, also includes downloadable prayers, background information on Lent, PowerPoint presentations, and doezens of ideas for living Lent well.
