On May 30th we were delighted to welcome Chris Collinson LIVE to our 10.30 service to tell us about the University and Colleges Christian Fellowship, a charity that our church has decided to support in 2021. This is the organisation behind the Christian Unions in colleges and universities and Chris was able to give us a real insight into the very valuable work they have been doing in recent Covid days.
These include:
❖ Delivering a message & cheerful plant to many International students who are self-isolating
❖ Meetings with students – usually with Jaffa cakes or other welcome food
❖ Making links between Christian students and local churches
❖ Evangelising events
❖ Offering a helping hand to all students
We heard personal tales of the friendship offered to all students including those of all faiths and none and in particular to those coming from overseas with no contacts or friends here in the UK.
