Service Ministry

Currently we have one service aspect of our ministry but we are committed to seeking out the poor whoever and wherever they may be so we will be looking to create new initiatives in the future.

Every Wednesday 6.30-8.00pm in the Narthex of St Wilfrid’s Church, Preston City Centre
A weekly drop-in where we provide clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, toiletries etc to anyone in need. We also spend time listening and chatting with those who attend in order to share the Father’s love with them. If you have any spare toiletries, sleeping bags or clothes, particularly men’s t-shirts, jeans, tracksuit bottoms and trainers then please leave them in the box in the narthex of St Wilfrid’s or drop them off at our office.

  • Metanoia Project Operations and the Coronavirus. (3/19/2020) - Dear Young People, Parents, Friends and Supporters, Because of recent guidance from both the Government and the Bishops’ Conference, and in consultation with the schools and Parishes with which we work, we have made the difficult decision to suspend all of our groups and events except our work with the Homeless. Therefore, there will be no youth groups at St Clare’s or St Mary’s Lea Town, no talks for adults at St Wilfrid’s, no meetings for our Young Leaders or for the Students and Young Adults, no sessions for Young Families, no Adoration with Praise and Worship etc. until further notice. During this time, when many of our usual ways of expressing our Faith have been removed, and we can no longer gather together, it is all the more important that we find ways to invest in our relationships with God and each other. Although our regular groups and events will not be able to continue for the foreseeable future, the Metanoia Project Team will continue to be here to support you in any way we can and we will be finding different avenues to build and maintain community in ways that do not require physical contact. We will also continue to offer spiritual input, scripture reflection and prayer resources through various means so look out for ways to stay involved and nourish your Faith! You can let us know what sort of thing you would / would not like to hear about by filling in our ‘contact preferences’ form here: http://metanoiaproject.co.uk/contact-preferences/ If you are fit and well and do not support any vulnerable people in your work or household, why not consider helping us serve the homeless at our Wednesday Drop-in? Our usual team of volunteers is somewhat depleted due to the need to self-isolate so any help will be gratefully received. We will miss meeting with you all but hope that we will be able to see you all again in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, look after yourselves, keep praying and keep in touch! God bless Ruth and Joe
  • Rucksack Delivery (2/25/2018) - 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.
  • Advent Rucksack Appeal Assemblies (12/13/2017) - Corpus Christi High School are generously helping us to provide a rucksack full of useful things and a message of love to each person who uses our Wednesday Drop-In over the Christmas period. We went into School on Tuesday 28th and Thursday 30th to address two assemblies about the appeal. We took some time to […]

Gospel for Thursday 15th April 2021: John 3:31-36

John the Baptist said to his disciples:
‘He who comes from above is above all others;
he who is born of the earth is earthly himself
and speaks in an earthly way.
He who comes from heaven
bears witness to the things he has seen and heard,
even if his testimony is not accepted;
though all who do accept his testimony
are attesting the truthfulness of God,
since he whom God has sent
speaks God’s own words:
God gives him the Spirit without reserve.
The Father loves the Son
and has entrusted everything to him.
Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life,
but anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will never see life:
the anger of God stays on him.’

It has been a long, long time coming (God's timing is perfect!) but we are finally in a position to be able to explore the possibility of 3 or 4 young adults coming to live in community and work with us here at Metanoia Project!!! Please take a look at the attached info and pass it around as far and wide as possible so that we can find the ideal missionaries to join us. This is such an exciting time as we look at growing and developing God's fruitful ministry further moving forward. We can't wait to hear from you!
Here are some of the Responsorial Psalms that will be used during Holy Week and Easter which you may find useful for your liturgies or just for personal prayer in the coming weeks. The settings are all written by our own Ruth White so there are no copyright issues. We hope you enjoy them.

🎼 Worship Wednesday 🎼

'Closer' by Lifepoint Worship has been on repeat for me over the last couple of weeks. As we draw to the end of Lent and journey closer to Holy Week, this song reminds me of my need for God. It reminds me of how all I need is Him, and everything else is just extra. Only God can truly satisfy.

"I need Your love like I need water,
I need Your love like I need breath inside of my lungs"

As Holy Week approaches, I've been praying a lot with the pain that Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane, as He was scourged, and crowned with thorns, when He was nailed to the Cross, and as He died. I've been really struck by the great pain He would have experienced - both emotionally and physically. 

I feel like the prayer of this song really speaks to this, "Jesus, draw me closer to Your heart". 

So as our walk to Calvary with Him grows closer, may we become even more aware of the pain Jesus experienced for us, and how it is His heart broken and blood poured out that brings us close to His heart, that brings us everlasting life in Heaven. 

- Anna

3rd Unveiled of Lent this time with a theme of 'Preparing for Holy Week'. Based around the Scripture Mark 14:3-9 - The anointing at Bethany - we explored the difference between the woman who gave everything to worship Jesus as the King and the crowd who changed so quickly from crying 'Hosanna' to shouting 'Crucify Him'. With whom do you most identify?
