This week’s Drop Ins have been full houses again! Queues on Tuesday, running out of chairs on Wednesday – so many desperate to come on in.
On Tuesday, we stripped ourselves of all that baggage that puffs us up and blocks us receiving all God is offering us. We may not be rich men with material items, but we all acknowledged we live lives of rich men of worldly baggage.
‘Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven’ Matthew 19:23-30
The response was beautiful, seeing many wanting more of Him and Him increasing and them decreasing. Stripping ourselves of bitterness, unforgiveness, fear … and so many other things that fill us up. Holy Spirit came on in and refilled us with the good stuff.
This evening, so many rushed in to share their lightness today and a change in how they pray – how to strip off, sharing with others who didn’t come last night ! There were even some who shared of their first full night sleep in a long time! Isn’t God great!
We prayed with Psalm 23, declaring each line boldly and allowing God to speak to us, enabling us to rewrite the psalm in our own words. A 19th August 2026 Psalm 23 !
His Word is alive and active, and we saw how important it is this evening as Holy Spirit made it so real to so many of us, changing hearts and minds.
A tasty meal on Tuesdays and clothes and cakes on Wednesdays is opening so many hearts to the love our Father God is pouring out all over Preston ( and everywhere !) and we are ever so thankful so many of you support us in items and prayer that we are seeing His Kingdom .

Sometimes proclaiming The Gospel looks like cleaning , tidying , heavy lifting and doing so without a perfect group photo as we are all too busy just getting on !
A super team today really helped with so many behind the scenes jobs.
Today's first reading reminds us that
'Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver'
2 Corinthians 9:6-10 ·
Today, our team gave so much and did so , so very cheerfully !
We really praise God for all of our volunteers and their yes to serving Jesus so wonderfully.

Our stock for chopped tomatoes and baked beans has depleted
We've fed so many people using these items !
Roughly every Tuesday evening we feed between 40- 75 with a hot sit down two course meal
We know our evenings are about much more than food though!
Through sharing Jesus, praying in the power of the Spirit so many who come into the room encounter the Father's love and we are seeing lives changed . Praise God
There's so much more than a meal !
If you'd consider an extra chopped tomato tin ( or 10 ! ) or baked beans in your shopping you would be answering Jesus' command to -
‘They need not go away; you give them something to eat.’
If we could fill our store cupboard up with cooking ingredients it will enable us all to do as Jesus asks
‘Bring them here to me.’
Matthew 14:13-21
Please get in touch how to get these tins to us
Thank you !

We can provide fresh veg if someone can pick it up
Unveiled is on Friday evening 7.30pm – St Wilfrid’s Church .
It is the last one before a summer break
What a time to join us either as a regular or a never been beforer!
Unveiled evenings are very relaxed, starting with a piece of scripture, then a short talk enabling us all to enter into our prayer time - which includes – Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament , music ministry, prayer ministry, an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation or to chat with a priest if not Catholic.
At the end, there’s a time to chat with others with tea and cake.
We know here at Metanoia Project that Jesus wants our hearts before our hands, so why not join our wider Metanoia Project community , to gather , opening our hearts to be renewed in His strength .
See you Friday !

I had the absolute privilege of encountering this music ministry at the Family Prayer Fest Day, and I am still deeply moved by the experience. Their gospel music was incredibly powerful, filled with an authentic joy and passion that completely uplifted everyone in attendance. It brought a profound sense of peace and encouragement to my heart. Thank you for your beautiful service and for sharing your gifts so selflessly!
Today at Chaplaincy Club we thought about how God calls each of us by name and gives us important tasks to help build His kingdom

Well done! God bless the young disciples in Chaplaincy Club. Come, Holy Spirit, fall afresh on them
Our volunteers meet 3 Saturdays a year and this one was perfectly timed on the eve of Pentecost!
We've been praying our Pentecost novena together so we jumped into some teaching and more praying !
Come Holy Spirit !
Ruth started the day with a Gospel Drama - sharing THE GOOD NEWS !
Jen shared on Baptism of the Holy Spirit and how it's essential if we are to carry out our mission here in Preston - without the Holy Spirit our mission is mission impossible, and we want mission possible !
Joe then shared his testimony of his first powerful encounter with Holy Spirit .
After Mass and a beautiful sharing table for lunch Jen shared testimonies on how the Spirit is moving in our ministries - He is here and now and it's very exciting - from so many healings to so many lives changes to miraculous train arrivals - He is moving and we must share with all the good He is doing !
We then moved into church to say a greater yes to His outpouring, and 6 members of our community prayed for each volunteer to receive more of Him .
The day was alive, so full of His love and our volunteers were so open to all God is pouring out on them .
We are excited with all He will do with this day !
Come Holy Spirit !

Here we are at the Wednesday Drop In , Praying for each other in our small groups for a greater ability to listen to Jesus and share Him this week , holding onto the truth that Jesus is always with us
And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’
Matthew 28:16-20
This remarkable group threw themselves into Lent , celebrated Easter well ,and now are praying for the same hunger and expectancy as the disicples waiting in the Upper Room . We are ready to stand amazed with all He will pour out on us and all He will do through us !
Come Holy Spirit
