Freshers’ Video
Hello to all Freshers and welcome to Churchill. Please take a few moments to watch the video below as it explores the faith of a few Christians in Cambridge. If Christianity is something you’ve been brought up with, if it’s an entirely new concept to you or you simply don’t believe in a God we’d love to know what you think and answer any questions you might have, just contact any of the reps.
Prayer Requests
We’ve already been praying for you as a college group since Easter… well, not by name it must said, but rather for Freshers in general. However, we’d be delighted to hear from you with specific prayer requests for the start of term. Things like settling into Churchill, making friends, starting work, nothing is too trivial, just email any of the reps.
Freshers’ Breakfasts
Obviously, Freshers’ week is a very busy time, with trying to settle and make friends top of the agenda. So the CU runs breakfasts most mornings during Freshers’ week (Tuesday 5th to Saturday 9th October) for all students to come along and mingle. This is purely a time to eat free breakfast and meet new people! All breakfasts are in the JCR Room in college (next to the TV room near the bar) but make sure you bring a bowl, spoon, mug, etc. Times vary between days as follows
Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th 8.30-10.30am
Thursday 7th and Friday 8th 7.30-8.30am
Saturday 9th 8.30-10.30am
Also for the first four Sunday mornings (10th, 17th, 24th and 31st October) from 8.30am till 10am, we provide a free breakfast for you, with most of the college group members so that you can get to know each other and us, and a little about the Christian Union in Cambridge and in college. We will also tell you a bit about some local churches and let you know the details of groups travelling to them so we can all go together and show you the way. This is a great way to find a church you like. These are also held in the JCR Room and remember to bring a bowl, spoon, mug, etc.
Churchill Cafe
Look out for Churchill Cafe in the bar every evening during freshers’ week except for Monday 4th. We’ll also be in the bar during the evening of Saturday 9th. Churchill Cafe is run by members from the Christian Union giving out free hot chocolate and toasties for Churchillians to have while relaxing in the bar with friends. Please do come to the bar after 8pm for your free toastie and to say hi, we’d love to meet you.
How to choose a Church
CICCU (the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union) has a pretty comprehensive guide for how to choose a church – check it out here.
