Student Carols
The Carol Concert is the biggest single event that the Christian Union holds each year. At our last Carol Concert in December 2010, almost 1500 people packed the Great Hall across 2 services to sing Christmas carols and hear the Christmas story.
The Carol Concerst for the 2011/12 academic year will be held on Thursday 1st December 2011 in the Great Hall.
Aftersun
Aftersun is a time to catch up with friends after the summer, refocus on the aims of the CU and to get onboard with Freshers welcome plans. Please note this is an event for returning students.
Aftersun this year was on on Monday 19 September 2011 at Elim Church Centre.
Engage: CU Welcome
Engage is our main Freshers Event. It is a day for people interested to find out why we exist as a Christian Union and what we do. It is also a great opportunity to meet existing members of the CU and other Christian Freshers.
Engage this year was on Tuesday 20th September 2011 at the Chaplaincy.
Church search
We hope every student who is a part of the CU will find and join a local church while they are at university. To help Freshers find a church to settle in, we organise a church search during the first month of the autumn term. Find out more about the church search in the Freshers’ section of the website.
UCCF has published a short article on a choosing a church, available on their website: choosing a church.
Houseparty
Houseparty is potentially the best weekend of the CU year! Everyone in the CU is welcome to join us in the countryside of Shropshire for a weekend of teaching, worship, prayer, discussion groups, free time and lots of fun! It is a great chance to chill out and get to know people, have a laugh, as well as receive great teaching and worship God.
Houseparty this year will be 18th-20th November 2011.
