Today we had our first sixth form conference.
Take a look at the video to get a taster of the day.

Kingston CU this week.

The Kingston University Christian Union was fantastic this week. The main CU meeting on Tuesday was jammed packed with over 50 students attending. We provide a cooked meal for the students but ran out of food and chairs because of the large numbers.
Lunch bars have started up this week and will be running throughout October. Lunch bars are great for reaching out to non-Christians. They come along and get a free lunch and each week hear a short talk on a topic (this week was the pursuit of happiness). We then share the Gospel with them and they have time afterwards to ask questions. Lunch bars are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Penrhyn Road and Kingston Hill campuses. They both kick off at 12:00pm. This first week had a great turnout. Praise the LORD!
Please pray that this would continue and that we would grow in our relationships with the people that come along, and that people would have a hunger and a thirst to find out more.

Chaplain tackles God-shaped balls

Like many sports teams before them Harlequins RFC are hoping for a little help from the Almighty by appointing Tim Neale as team chaplain.

Mr Neale, 34, of Poplar Gardens, New Malden, preaches and runs a youth group at Fairfield Community Church in Kingston. He joined Quins as part of Score, an organisation that provides chaplins at football and rugby clubs nationwide. Although he has no background playing rugby, he has always been a fan of the sport.

The organisation's services are becoming increasingly popular. According to Mr Neale, virtually every professional football club in the land now has a chaplain.

"I'm a big rugby fan, and I come from south Wales where chapels and rugby go hand in hand," he said.

"They're steeped in a collective history.The players are people with problems just like you and I. I see myself as an outlet for those problems, both on and off the field."

Specially requested by Quins' director of rugby Dean Richards, Mr Neale first went along to rivals Wasps to see how the idea worked there.

He now spends time with the players after training, and is available before and after matches should they need him.

"Other clubs have really benefited from it, that's why Quins were so keen," he said.

So far the players have not been too forthcoming in matters of a spiritual nature.

Mr Neale said: "These things take time. No one is going to pour their heart out to you after just a week."

Welcome meeting

The Welcome Meeting went really well with about 60 people attending. There were snacks, drinks, games and music. It was a great time and we enjoyed chatting with the new people.
We're looking forward to getting into the book of Ephesians starting next Tuesday and hearing God speaking to us. Ephesians is all about the riches of being in Christ and that we have every spiritual blessing if we're his. Please pray that we will grow in our understanding and love of God, and that the new students would be committed in coming along.

Freshers Fayre

Fresher’s Fayre this year was busier than ever. The Christian Union had a good position in the tent so we were clearly seen. Many people signed up and received a free small cereal packet as our welcome gift. Last night we phoned everyone who signed up to remind them of the Christian Union Welcome Meeting on Tuesday the 25th September. Please pray that many people would come along to the CU and they will stay with us throughout the year. Our main meeting is every Tuesday at 7pm and we will be studying the book of Ephesians which is very exciting!
