Up and Coming Events
*Our typical CU year contains the events below - we are committed to continue our evangelism during the Covid 19 pandemic, so these events may look a little different.*
College Outreach --- Each term, all colleges will host outreach events to share Jesus with their college communities. Two events are held within the term, usually in weeks 4 and 8. For more information check the college Facebook pages.
Lunchbars --- Come and join us in exploring some of the big questions of life and what the person of Jesus has to say. Sit in a relaxed, comfortable setting, ideal for that quick bite-to-eat between lectures. A lunchbar consists of a 20 to 30 minute talk, an opportunity for questions and responses, and a free lunch. The CU puts lunchbars on all through the term!
Events Week --- Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as the year goes on!
Carols at the Minster --- At Christmas time, we host our annual carol Service – an opportunity to explore the true meaning of Christmas, get into the festive spirit and (of course) eat mince pies, all in an incredible setting!
Weekend Away --- Join us at our annual weekend away to learn more about Jesus, build our community, and get us prepped for our outreach on our campuses. Details will be released in term one!
