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
