Fathers Day for fatherless Reading boys<br />
STAY on Sunday<br />
St Andrew's Youth<br />
Our fortnightly faith growing group called STAY on<br />
Sunday continues to be popular and is helping to<br />
deepen the faith of the young people who attend. We<br />
continued with the parables of Jesus and have recently<br />
looked at ‘<strong>The</strong> Good Samaritan’ and ‘Humility —<br />
where to sit at a wedding feast’.<br />
STAY on Monday<br />
With only a few weeks to go until the 100km in 24 hours walk on <strong>June</strong><br />
17-18, the lads and I have been out on several practice walks. We are each<br />
raising £2,000 for Chapter 2, a charity who work with fatherless boys across<br />
Reading. Growing up without a father figure means they are statistically<br />
more likely to be involved in gangs, more likely to truant from school, more<br />
likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, and more likely to end up in<br />
prison. We are hoping to change their future by providing positive male role<br />
models through mentors and ongoing support. If you would like to sponsor<br />

We have also kept meeting in the young people's homes for our fortnightly STAY on Monday group. We’ve enjoyed being outside more<br />
with the warmer evenings and the young people loved the garden based scavenger hunt and team building games.
