What is the good news of Jesus?!

Everyone has done wrong things, it's just part of human life. However, God is a perfect judge and it would be unjust to for him to allow these things to go unpunished. We may have done good in our lives too, but that cannot mend the crimes we have committed – a judge cannot let a criminal go just because they’ve given to charity or helped the homeless.

Instead Jesus Christ lived the perfect life in our place. Dying on the cross, he took the punishment that we deserve so that we might be forgiven and have eternal life with God.
This is offered to us a free gift, and isn’t something we can earn, but is offered freely to all.

Wether a Christian or not, everyone is welcome to our freshers week events :)

Week-to-Week in Aberystywth CU 

As a CU we run a variety of events, with things on for all different types of people. Whether you're a committed Christian or would like to find out more about what Christians believe, there is something for everyone! Below are some of the events we are going to be putting on this year but make sure to follow our social media pages for more information on all our upcoming events. 

 

Monday | 7:00pm

Globe

University is a big step up, especially if you're in a new country, with a new language, and a new culture. Every Monday we run a 'Globe Cafe' for iternational students (although all are welcome). We meet up, share a meal together, and talk about life, as well as discussing topics such as culture or identity.

 

Tuesday | 1:10pm

Prayer Meeting

We gather to pray together for pressing issues, our family and friends and our town and university. We will spend half an hour or so going through a guided prayer session. Feel free to come along no matter how confident you are at praying!

 

Wednesday | 10:00pm - 12:00pm

Outreach and concourse cafe

Every week we alternate between outreach in town and concourse cafe on campus. We share teas and coffees and chat with students, all to show the love of Jesus. You don't have to be a big evangelist to come along, if you're a confident talker or would rather hand out teas and coffees, there's something for everyone :)

 

Thursday | 7:00pm

Equip

Each week we alternate between equip and imact groups. Equip is our main weekly meeting and is a great opportunity to meet up with other Christians and grow in your faith. Generally, we meet and enjoy a short time chatting together before launching into an evening of singing, prayer, and short talks, with the main Bible study being preached. This year will focus on our visions and values as CU.

 

Thursday 

Impact groups

Every other week we will have impact groups. Theses are small groups that are a great place to make friends, get connected into CU life and read the Bible together.

 

Sunday

Church

On Sunday we don't do anything as a CU, raher we attend our local churches, and take a rest. Aber has a number of great both Welsh and English-speaking churches. To find out more about the churches in Aber follow the link below:

Yearly events in Aberystwyth CU

As well as running weekly events, we also have some larger events that we run in each semester. In semester one we have our Christmas events, and in semester two we have a week of events toward the end of February.

Weekend away | October

As a CU we spend a weekend away together every year. We will have a guest speaker, as well as different seminars, games, worship, prayer, meals, and some crazy enough will go swimming in the freezing lake. It is an amazing time to build friendships and to learn and grow in your faith.

Town and University Carol Concert | Start of December

The town and university carol concert is an event hosted by the university and local churches. It is a great opportunity to hear what Christianity is all about, While getting in the Christmas spirit!

Events Week | February

As a CU we host a week of events to answer you questions about the Christian faith. We host a range of informal lunches that briefly address a topic such as:  Do all religions lead to God?, How can a God of love allow suffering?, Has Science buried God? These are followed by a question and answer session. The evenings follow a similar format, but address the topic much more deeply, as well as looking at the story of a guest.
