Joe, James, Jonathan and Tushar completed their half-marathon Metanoia Madness challenge without breaking a sweat (well not much of one anyway…) We are so proud of their energy and enthusiasm and are so grateful for the money raised which will help in our evangelising efforts and with our plans for growth in the Project.
Having been ill on 7th Jan, Joe was unable to run the original race but the three others did a wonderful job with Ruth, Nora, Mike and a few other family members cheering them on from the side-lines. Joe completed his half marathon on 18th Feb in Blackpool so now the challenge is complete! Thanks to everyone who sponsored them.
Results: Central Lancashire New Year’s Half Marathon

Having spent a frantic few weeks fundraising, the staff and pupils at Corpus Christi High School presented us with 20 Rucksacks all full of underwear, socks, sleeping bags, chocolate, t-shirts, shower gel and a New Testament. They also had a few items spare! We were blown away by their efforts and generosity especially in such a short space of time. The people who attend our Wednesday Drop-In were delighted to receive such a useful gift for Christmas and were so touched by the love and care that was demonstrated to them. If you would like to be involved in a similar project in the future then please get in touch.
Our Advent Series exploring the Canticles at the beginning of Luke’s Gospel was a great success. We had four very different speakers who each inspired us with their teaching, testimony and deep faith. 
In June we were honoured to host Rise Theatre who spent an evening sharing some of their sketches with us here at St Wilfrid’s.
