Treasure: A Retreat for all young people of High School age and Above..

Posted on 18th September 2018 by JoeWhite

Monday 22nd – Wednesday 24th October 2018

Venue:
Castlerigg Manor is the Lancaster Diocesan youth retreat centre with a rich history of working with young people over the last 50 years. It is hugely popular with schools and groups of the Diocese and beyond, and is usually fully booked a year in advance. We have been fortunate enough to secure this time during half term for our retreat. It is a fantastic place with a games room, lots of outdoor space and spectacular views! Of course, there is also a beautiful Chapel as well as lots of bedrooms, showers and toilets, and a dining room.

Activities:
This retreat is a great opportunity for our young people to escape from the day-to-day routine of life. Time away gives us a chance to re-evaluate where our lives are going, to reflect and learn about ourselves, each other and about our relationship with God. As well as lots of exciting ways of exploring our theme through games, workshops, group work and prayer we will also enjoy some time outdoors. There will also be plenty of time to relax and socialise.

Cost:
£100 per person. This includes all accommodation and input as well as food and travel. We appreciate that this is a big cost especially for families where there may be siblings who wish to attend. Please see the Fundraising PDF for details of how you can help reduce this amount. We do not want anyone to miss out so please talk to us if you have any concerns.

Timing:
We will be leaving St Clare’s at 11 am on Monday and will return again to St Clare’s on Wednesday at 6 pm.

Team:
The Retreat will be led by Joe and Ruth White and Nora Lord from Metanoia Project who lead the ‘Seekers’, ‘Anointed’ and ‘Sent’ youth groups. We will also be assisted by our fantastic ‘YOKE’ Young Leaders.

See the fun we had on last years Autumn retreat.

If you are interested please download leaflet and fill in this reply slip and return it to Joe and Ruth White at Metanoia Project as soon as possible and no later than Sunday 7th October 2018.

Gospel for Tuesday 26th January 2021: Mark 3:31-35

The mother and brothers of Jesus arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, ‘Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.’ He replied, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking round at those sitting in a circle about him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.’

At the heart of Metanoia Project are the people, the team, who work together to help bring about the Kingdom of God. We'd love for you to get to know these lovely people...

"Hi everyone. My name is Anthony and I am known to everyone as Tony.

I help out mainly with the homeless drop-in on a Wednesday evening but also help out when I am needed, whether it be driving to pick up or drop off donations. 

I have also helped out by driving the minibus to transport people to venues. I also help the team with stewarding when Metanoia have venues on at the Church. 

I also am part of the team of seven who write the Sunday Gospel reflections which are shared on the Metanoia Gospel reflection Whatsapp group, and the 'God Who Speaks' Facebook group.

I am 60yrs old and work part time as a gardener in the Preston area.

The Gospel reading that has meaning to me at the moment is Matthew 25:14-30 (the Parable of the Talents), and the verses that stand out most to me is 24 to 27:
'Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, "Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours." But his master replied, "You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest."'

We are called to use our talents to lead people to Jesus and not slack in our duties to God."

"My name is Sandra, I went to chapel as a child but lost my faith in my teenage years. Living without Christ is like living without sunlight, it gets very dark, and you can get very withdrawn. Jesus lights up our lives. He teaches us how to love and reach out to others. 

I work full time at the University in administration. I am married with one daughter. 

I grew up in Liverpool surrounded by a loving family, I’m very lucky. My Grandma has probably been the biggest influence in my converting to Catholicism in 2013, it felt like coming home.

I met Joe and Ruth in 2018. I had been praying that God would show me a way to help the increasing numbers of homeless on the streets of Preston and my prayers were answered when I was introduced to Metanoia.

Since going back to church in 2013 I have felt Christ active in my life, answering prayers and guiding me. Finding Metanoia is a prime example of how God works; this wonderful group has enriched my faith and helped me to grow closer to Jesus.

One of the verses that really resonated with me back then is Matthew 7:7:
'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.'

Recently this verse has really spoken to me again as prayers have been answered and doors opened.

God never ceases to amaze me and when I doubt Him, which I have frequently over these past 9 months, He hears me asking, sees me seeking and opens the door I am knocking on. 

Metanoia has played a big part in sustaining my faith. I feel privileged to be part of such a great project."

Day 10 - Looking Forward

We hope you have enjoyed our posts and videos over the past 10 days and now feel more connected to Metanoia Project. 

All the recent restrictions and lockdowns have been difficult in so many ways especially as we have been unable to meet in person with all our wonderful groups for so long now – we miss you all so much! But God has not been quiet or absent during this time. In fact, we’ve been able to take more time to listen and plan and we are so excited about what the next stage of Metanoia Project will look like. 

So, make sure you look out for exciting announcements coming very soon! We can’t wait for the next adventure that God has in store!

PLEASE PRAY FOR US - WE ALWAYS NEED YOUR PRAYERS!

Day 8 - Wednesday Worship
As you may know, every Wednesday one of our team share a worship song that they love or is particularly relevant at that moment. This week, as part of our 10 years celebrations we have recorded our own version of the song 'Faithfulness' by Matt Maher and Steffany Gretzinger. Ideally, it would have included more members of our worship band but, with the current restrictions, it ended up being just me!
I chose this song because truly God is faithful! If I had to choose the most important thing that I have learnt over the last 10 years (and there have been many, many things) God's unbelievable faithfulness would be that one thing. He has never let us down even though we have let Him down over and over again. He has never given up on us even though we have wanted to give up many times. He has never changed His mind about loving and trusting us even though we must have tried His patience every day. What an awesome God we have who is faithful always and forever!

Our final Unveiled of 2020 and this time the theme was Incarnation. Problems with sound again but Joe gives a great talk!
Unveiled 18th December 2020

Our third Unveiled event. This time the theme was our need for God with the Scripture passage about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector from Luke chapter 18. We are getting there with the technology so much easier to watch - just a few more tweaks to get it even better next time!

It was wonderful to be able to have a congregation in Church for the event now that this is permitted again.
