Our student lunches run on Sundays, after the 11.30am service.
It’s all very informal. There’s home-cooked food, the chance to catch up with friends, chat about the sermon and meet people from other colleges. Then we take some time to think through a relevant topic to do with Christianity. We invite a guest speaker each week, but it's not just a monologue from the front. You can discuss issues on your table and grill the speaker at the end. We’re all done by 2pm.
You don’t need to believe anything to come, but we really hope these lunches will help you and your friends to get clearer on the Christian faith, to love Jesus more and be equipped to live and speak for him in your daily lives.
I've really enjoyed the student lunches. Excellent food and a chance to meet the people you've seen in the other seats each Sunday and put names to the faces. The talks, too, are interesting and informative, not to mention eye-opening: some of the topics I hadn't even realised needed thinking about. Highly recommended!
