It looks like rain tonight so we’re calling the Picnic in the Park off. However, we don’t wish to deprive you of the chance to say goodbye for the summer so we’re meeting in the warm and dry instead. The particular bit of warm and dry we’ll be in is The Mitre on the corner …

It’s the last week of uni for the year (yay!) but that means it’s the last CU Central of the year as well (boohoo).
Come along to South Parks – or the Mitre if it’s still raining – to say goodbye and start the summer in style.

Don’t forget you can join us at our prayer meetings: be there if you want to pray about your exams or your life/work balance or just need the time to refocus on Jesus.

Every prayer meeting is a fantastic chance to talk to God and to each other (and we try hard to get that balance right!), so join us at Harcourt for Synergy, in Marston’s quiet room, or in the chaplaincy on Headington campus for Kick-Start and Catalyst. See you there!

TODAYS CHALLENGE!
In spirit of the music night why not sing in public – scary i know but also really fun, and you don’t have to be good… just film yourself.

Then when people look – and they might – invite them along to hear some more music tonight!

ALSO you have until the end of today to complete all the other challenges I have set.

Remember there are 5 Talking About Jesus iPhone apps available for the winners of each challenge!

Have fun and see you at some point today!

Competition Time: Wednesday

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:29:07 +0000

Hello all! As part of Main events week we are going to be offering a competition every day and there are 5 copies of the “Talking About Jesus” iPhone app up for grabs each day!

So here is Today’s challenge:
Biggest and/or most impressive group task.

To explain: In the spirit of the team challenges that we be doing tonight, I thought it would be cool to do one today. So I am not fussy what it is (a mexican wave, a pyramid, everyone saying the same thing, a conger line) be creative – just grab some friends and grab some strangers and have fun! Then also maybe invite those friends and strangers to be part of your team at Morals @ 8pm tonight!

Have a great day!

p.s. please take a photo or video for evidence!
