Welcome dinners and Bible studies this week

It’s the start of the new Cambridge term!

Join us on Tuesday and Wesdnesday for our welcome dinners and introductory Bible studies (you can come both days) and come again for our weekly Friday dinner and Bible study (this term we will be looking at the book of Philippians). On all three days you can find us in Robinson J8 at 6.30pm. We plan end by 8.30pm, but have the room booked for longer for those who have time to chat over dessert. If you can’t make the whole time, don’t worry, just come for when you can.

All the dinners are free, thanks to some wonderful Christian families who live nearby. These wonderful families also invite us to join them in their homes for dinner, singing, fellowship (and also games!). If you’re interested in visiting a nearby home on Thursday and/or Saturday evenings, get in touch.

If you have any questions or need any help finding us, don’t hesitate to ask.

So ends ARU Welcome Week!

We’ve had a really fantastic week out at ARU, meeting new students, sharing the Good News, and spending time together in such a “Jesusly human” way! Thanks to everyone who participated, including those from Cambridge Uni, and an especially big thanks to the wonderful, loving families who have been cooking for us, praying for us, and welcoming us into their homes!

With the semester beginning in earnest and things about to get busy, this is just a reminder to keep looking away to Jesus and resting in Him! And don’t forget we’ll be meeting together at ARU every Tuesday at 5pm in Coslett 107. This semester we’ll be talking an in depth look at the Gospel of John, so come along each week to enjoy the Lord’s word, which is spirit and life (John 6:63)!

The Wonderful Person of Christ!

This whole week in the ARU welcome meetings we are looking at Our Common Faith – the items of the faith that all Christians believe in, concerning the Bible, the divine Trinity, the person and work of Christ, our need of salvation, and the church! We are really excited to be getting into these topics this week, as it is by our being clear concerning the common items of the faith and focusing on these that we can be one despite coming from many different backgrounds!

“To Titus, genuine child according to the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.”

– Titus 1:4

This afternoon’s welcome Bible study will be at 5pm in Coslett 108, and we will be looking at the wonderful person of Christ. The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ is both the complete God and the perfect man. He possesses both the divine nature and the human nature. It is because He is both God and man that we can believe into Him and be saved. This wonderful Person wants to live inside of us!

We hope you can join us today at 5pm to get to know this wonderful Person together!

(Today we are in Coslett 108, and the rest of the week we will be in Coslett 107.)

Come and join the Bible Reading Challenge!

The sun is shining, it’s the start of a new semester, and if you can join the Bible Reading Challenge you can read the Gospel of John in only 30 days (and get a prize at the end)!

How it works

It’s very simple…

Step 1: Sign up for the challenge and we’ll put you into a group (using WhatsApp, or some other form of communication) with a few others.

Step 2: Then simply read the Gospel of John according to the schedule – it takes just 5 minutes a day or less. Note: You don’t have to meet together to read, although you can if you want to.

Step 3: Send a message to your group with your favourite verse, or whatever you enjoyed from your reading.

Step 4: Claim your prize!

Why join?

Joining a Bible Reading Challenge group is a really encouraging way to read through the Gospel of John in just 30 days – the WhatsApp or Facebook groups keep us accountable to one another, as well as being an enjoyable way to share what we are touched with from our reading. God’s word is spirit and life (John 6:63) and brings us light (Psalm 119:130), and we hope that as we all take part in the Bible Reading Challenge this year, we would get to know God and grow in Him more!

Some groups from last year enjoyed it so much that they continued to read the Bible and share their favourite verses throughout the rest of the year 🙂

Ok, sign me up!

Get in touch and let us know you’d like to join the challenge!
