Survival Tips

Distractions at Uni, for example - sleeping(!) can leave your faith in tatters. A statistic said that out of every 100 Christians that go into Uni, only 20 come out still Christians. Pretty Scary stuff! Tips for surviving at Uni ...

1. Keep reading Bible (God's Word)
2. Keep worshipping God
3. Keep praying
4. Keep meeting with other Christians (sword sharpens sword)
5. Make sure you get up on a Sunday morning and go to Church!
   

In Uni life you need to be on fire for God otherwise you just blend in with the non-Christian crowd.

What is the CU?

CU = Christian Union

[We believe…]
That the Gospel as described in Matthew 28:18-20 is true, that we are commanded to live by it and share its truth with others.

[Our aim...]
To grow in maturity, as individuals and as a group.
To share our faith with anyone who is interested.

[What we do…]
Our meetings are relaxed and informal, we meet on a weekly basis and usually have one of the following:

• Bible study
• Guest speaker from a local Newport Church
• Time of prayer
• Social evening [bbq’s, parties, bowling, meal out, games etc…]
• Informal debates on current issues

Events should be posted up and whether you are a Christian or not anyone is welcome to join us!

Bible: John 3:16

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

John 3:16 (MSG)
