Goodricke

Goodricke CUGoodricke CU is a bunch of students striving to reflect the character of Jesus and make him known in our college. In the gospels we see Jesus meeting the needs of those around him on a practical level, and we aim to do this too: every Wednesday night we serve free Toasties in the General Common Room (GCR) from 10:30pm til 3am. This weekly event also provides an opportunity for people to ask questions about our faith, and for people who want to go deeper we also run an informal discussion group called Explore, which is open to anyone, regardless of their beliefs to ask questions and discuss the Christian faith. This is at 2pm every Wednesday afternoon in the GCR.

We also meet together once a week to build one another up through prayer, testimonies, reflection on Scripture, and worship. During this time we bring the College before God in prayer. This College Prayer and Worship happens at 7.30pm on Wednesdays in Study Pod 1, Hes East. (In front of The Hub)

On top of this, socials are an important part of Goodricke CU. We enjoy getting to know each other in a variety of contexts - you’ll often find us going for meals out and chilling out at the second and third years' houses.! Plus, each summer term we take a weekend out in the Lake District to recharge, reflect and have a lot of fun – it's open to anyone!

We also go beyond College, being a pre-formed team of people passionate about living out the message of the Gospel and helping to build God's Kingdom. We take part in termly projects with the local charity Besom, spending a day painting / gardening / doing DIY for disadvantaged households in York.

We really encourage everyone who's a part of Goodricke CU to get involved in one of the many local churches. This is ultimately more important than being part of CU, as it connects you with people from different walks of life, provides more support and teaching, and gives you great opportunities to grow in your faith.” Again, there's more information on the main CU website.
