Adam has made it to the half-way point at Brough. He's had a rest and has just set off on part 2. Good luck Adam!

Adam Dobrzynski has been cycling through the night to raise money for St. Bega's Primary School.  As I type, he has been on his very nice bike for 5 hours and 45 minutes and has completed 62 miles. Only another 78 to go until he's back home on The Headland!

OK so it's not the man himself but the SJV Lunch Club who kindly invited some EMS students on their annual trip to the seaside! The four students regularly help out at the club which offers a weekly dinner with good company to local parishioners. We don't usually come to Redcar, though,  so today has been a real treat!

Did you know there are five different types of prayer? YOUCAT answers the question on what a prayer of blessing is and how we should bless one another. Here's what YOUCAT has to say...

A prayer of blessing is a prayer that calls down God's blessing upon us. From God alone all blessings flow. His goodness, his closeness, his mercy that is blessing. "May the Lord bless you" is the shortest prayer of blessing. Every Christian should call down God's blessing upon himself and upon other people. Parents can trace the Sign of the Cross on their child's forehead. People who love each other can bless one another. Furthermore a priest, by virtue of his office, blesses explicitly in the name of Jesus and on behalf of the Church. His request for blessings is made especially effective through Holy Orders and the prayer power of the whole Church.

FNF took on the Olaf Challenge tonight. Here are the results! !

During our prayer time, we thought about how Anna could only be saved by an act of true love. We reminded ourselves that we have been saved by Jesus' act of true love, when he gave up his life for us.

And to finish off the night, Jeremy faced the ice-bucket challenge (many thanks to Fr. Adrian)...

After the success of last year's retreat, we just had to do it again. It's at the wonderful Youth Village and is very affordable, so what's stopping you?

Joining letters should be available in churches and schools but if you're stuck, contact jeremy.cain@hartlepoolyouthministry.org.uk.
