UC EVENTS

University is a great place for reading and learning! How about putting aside some time for learning about Jesus? 'Reading about Jesus' is an opportunity to join with others and read through the Bible’s accounts of Jesus, to discuss and learn together. On Tuesdays, 12:30pm to 1:30pm, in room 1C104 (the Chaplains' office). Feel free to bring lunch with you :)Anyone is welcome, you may be a long-time Christian, or just someone (of other faith or no faith) who would like to read about Jesus with others.

Do you have what it takes? Are you tough enough to give to a child doing it tough? Do you want to give back to the community?

Come along to our meetings one a week to chat and knit up a storm. ***All supplies provided ***Dont know how to knit? We will teach you!

The English Conversation Club is a free activity organized by one of the UC Chaplains – Craig Johnson. Especially for international students or visiting scholars from overseas. But anyone who wants to practice their English is welcome.
