The Manresa Link network exists to train, encourage and support those drawn to a ministry of prayer accompaniment rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This ministry is offered to people of all Christian denominations and none, through courses, retreats, quiet days and ongoing spiritual accompaniment.

This course runs for eight Saturday mornings from September 2020 until January 2021.

On Friday 26th February 2021, spend a night out in a cardboard box to raise money for BCM’s work with the homeless in our city – this time in your own garden! And if another chilly night fits into your diary better, feel free to choose a different date.

We’re really disappointed that, because of the pandemic, we can’t hold our annual Sponsored Sleepout in the Clock Tower car park, but we know many people will still want to support the event and raise funds for Birmingham’s homeless. So we’re going mobile and recruiting participants to sleep out under the stars at home. You could do it on your own, as a family challenge or, if Covid-19 restrictions allow by the end of February, with friends or your youth group.

If you’d like to be a part of it, register and receive your free Sleepout 2021 Participant’s Pack, full of goodies, tips and information – just call 0121 766 6603 (ext 2) or email office@birminghamcitymission.co.uk giving your name and address.
