Transforming young lives
It was a privilege to hear Hannah and Naomi as they fizzed with enthusiasm for the work of Christian Union at the UEA.
About 130 CU students gather every week on campus in a lecture theatre, supporting each other and building community. Right from the start, each student is encouraged to join a church and their presence is appreciated throughout the city. In September, Andy Woodman was appointedChaplain to the UEA as well as Associate Vicar of St Anne’s Earlham. Years of prayer are bringing results.
Events Week runs 14-19 February on campus with speakers invited, food available and opportunities to be curious about Christ and his Church. Hannah and Naomi ask for prayers that all students can have the chance to hear and respond to the message of Christ, for true connections and genuine friendships to be formed, so that continuing conversations can be sparked.
