Intro
Hi!
Hey there everybody! So..................it's official! WE'RE INTO DECEMBER!!!!!!!!! It might just be me but it's still to early for Christmas music!!!!!! So we're into the second last week of term and if you guys are anything like me you're probably getting really tired and just wanting to get home for Christmas and get away from it all and see family and old friends again! So I just want to encourage you guys to push through the 'end of termitis' epidemic that is spreading and just keep trusting in God! Don't forget the Carol Service on Sunday!
Love and blessings

Faculty Groups
For just one lunchtime a week (or month) unite with other Christians from diverse churches, to focus on God and serve our faculties? What if our university saw Christians overcoming differences, even in important things, because they share the calling to glorify God for who He is, and for sending Jesus to bring those who believe in Him back into a relationship with Him? Sharing the news of Jesus is SO important!
Faculty Groups are a weekly lunchtime group with a vision to reach each corner of our University with the Gospel through unity in it, sharing the calling and promises central to it, and through practical displays of it.
GET INVOLVED! CONTACT YOUR FG LEADER OR GET LINKED WITH YOUR FACULTIES LATEST NEWS AND HAPPENINGS THROUGH OUR FACEBOOK GROUP.

Books
Reading Christian books is a great way to get to know God better and grow in your relationship with Him. The CU has a fantastic, very reasonably priced bookstall and this term we are recommending John Piper's 'God Is The Gospel' which'll cost you a mere £3.
One To Ones
Having a One-2-One with an older Christian is a wonderful opportunity to study the Bible and be challenged, encouraged and accountable in our Christian lives. Church is an ideal place to find a One-2-One, and student workers at your church should be able to help with this. Email Rachel via website) if you would like to be put in touch with someone at your church, or if you have not yet settled at one but would like to do a One-2-One with an older Christian.
Drivers
Are you lucky enough to have a car at University? If so we need you...Without our lovely car drivers we'd be unable to have any music/sound equipment at CU! Being a driver is a great way to serve, even being on the rota just twice a term would help enormously. If you're interested in helping out contact Fi via website.
