Announcements - Week8 - Semester 2

Afternoon y’all. Here are the announcements for this incoming week – Week 8

Small groups –

Unless you’ve been told otherwise, small groups are on as usual this week. There more than likely will be no Wednesday night small group due to the CU formal.

Prayer meeting –

Tuesday morning @ 8am in the Chaplaincy (5F01). Yes it is early, but prayer is a great way to start the day and breakfast of sorts is provided. It would be great to see you there.

i-café –

If you aren’t going to the CU formal it would be great if you could go along to i-café @ 7.30pm in the staff common room. This is a great way to reach out to the international students in Jordanstown telling them about God and what he has done and can do for us.

UUJCU vs. QUBCU Annual Rugby match –

Its that time of the year again folks for the annual CU rugby match!! So come along down and bring others to Cherryvale playing fields for a super match between the biggest rivals in sporting history! Time confirmed for 3pm kick off! Invite others!

CU Thursday Night Meeting –

This week ‘Tell It In Colour’ are taking our meeting. As usual the meeting will be starting at 7.30pm and will be held up in the Students Union. Bring your friends and your classmates and please try to arrive on time/early.

CUAC -

If you’re heading to CUAC and need a lift or have an extra space in your car, let us know so that everyone has a way of getting down – There was meant to be a brief meeting about this on Thursday past, but it unfortunately didn’t happen (sorry about that).

UUJCU Mission Team –

Where? Dublin         When? 10^th-17^th August 2013

Please speak to Hannah Laughlin as soon as possible if you are interested in being part of this years Mission Team.

I think that's all the announcements for now. As always keep an eye on the Facebook page (facebook.com/uujtowncu) for any changes and/or further announcements.

Have a great week

Announcements - Week 7 - Semester 2

Good afternoon folks. Thank you to everyone who helped out with last week’s events. Souls were saved and fun was had. Lets keep praying that seeds will have been planted in people and that more people will come to Christ as a result of the events last week.

Here are the announcements for this week:

CU Formal -

Can anyone who is going to the formal and hasn’t paid the full amount of money for their ticket please bring the remaining amount to CU on Thursday as the full amount has to be paid to the Dunadry by Friday at the very latest! If you're not going to be at CU this week please arrange for someone else to give in your money for you or somehow get it to Lydia Morrell before then! Thanks J

Small Groups –

Unless you’ve been told different, small groups are on as usual Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Prayer Meeting –

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) @ 8am in the Chaplaincy (5F01). Prayer is a great way to start the day, and breakfast is provided. It would be great to see you there.

i-café –

Wednesday evening @ 7.30pm in the Staff Common Room. This is a great opportunity to share the love of God with the international students and tell them of what he can do for us all.

Thursday night meeting –

The main CU meeting is at 7.30pm in the Students Union.

The topic this week is “What is a true Christian?”

There is a time of prayer before the meeting which starts at approximately 7pm. It would be great to see you there.

A vote will be taken this week on the proposed CU committee for the year ahead, so please come along, especially if you are a member of UUJCU.

CU Annual Conference - 

If you would like to go to the conference next weekend (22nd-24th March) and you haven't registered, today is the last day to sign up. Here is a link to the IFES Ireland site where you can sign up and pay: http://www.ifesireland.org/cu-annual-conference/
It promises to be a great weekend of teachings and banter with students from other CU's around Ireland. It would be great to see you there.

That's all the announcements for now. Remember to keep an eye on the facebook page for any changes or other announcements.

I want to leave you with this passage from Matthew Chapter 5 in which I have highlighted a few verses:

Matthew 5:2-16 (NIV):

“2 he (Jesus) began to teach them. He said:

The Beatitudes

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Salt and Light

13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Have a good week,

Alister
