Do you have a question about faith but you've never known who to ask? Here is your opportunity to ask any question you like - no judgement - and get a free mince pie!
Just send us your question and room number and someone will turn up to your door with a mince pie and hopefully some helpful answers!

Much love from the Girton Christian Union xx

We would really love to invite you to join the Girton Christian Union in having breakfast together tomorrow. Pop in for however much or little you would like to and we'll be chatting a bit about the different churches in Cambridge. If you're interested in coming along to a church service afterwards, we will all be heading into town together and can bring you along to whichever church you feel like trying out. If you just want to come along for the free food and nothing else, that's also completely fine!
We hope to see you there!

Coming up to Cambridge in October? Want to make a great start to being a Christian at Cambridge, but unsure about how to do that, or about what things will be like when you arrive?
We'd love to invite you to the CICCU Freshers' Getaway!
Expect great Bible teaching and practical seminars, lots of fun and games, and opportunities to build friendships and get stuck in before Freshers' Week even starts.
Whether you're excited or nervous about starting university, going to Freshaway will mean you arrive in Cambridge
• knowing dozens of other Christian students already.
• with an idea of what the main student churches are like through chatting to some of their staff.
• prepared by a weekend of prayer, praise, talks, and seminars to live for Jesus at university from the very first day.
So please do sign up via the google form below- we can't wait to see you there!

If you're an international student who can't make it along to freshaway, don’t worry, we're still hoping to help you make a fantastic start to life as a Christian at Cambridge uni - because we’re running an international freshaway for you! This is going to be an online series of events happening between the 8th-14th September, and should still be a fantastic opportunity to get some great Bible content in the form of some awesome Bible studies, to make some new friends with other Christian freshers and current CU members and to have loads of fun along the way! If you’re interested, please sign up via the Google form below, and you’ll be emailed some more information nearer the time. We can’t wait to meet you!

After some unfortunate technical difficulties (sorry!) we are finally able to catch up on all the posts that were meant to go out over the last week. Sorry for the delayed congratulations to any freshers, it is no less heartfelt for being late!

Hello!
Congratulations on getting your results! We know it has been a crazy journey but we are so excited to welcome you to Girton College in October!
As reps for Girton Christian Union this year we would especially like to hear from you before term begins. If you have any questions about what the CU in Cambridge looks like, or you just want to make contact with a friendly Girtonian before the madness of freshers week, we would be so, so happy to get in touch! Feel free to message one of us (Alice is showing off her college gown and Thomas is photobombing some rather attractive frozen yoghurt) or message our Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/girtonchristianunion/) or drop us an email (Alice: [email protected] or Thomas: [email protected])
Keep watching this space to see more posts where we introduce ourselves properly and tell you about the fabulous freshers getaway!
We can’t wait to hear from you and meet you soon!
Alice and Thomas

Happy results day everyone! Congratulations on your results! We appreciate that this year has been pretty crazy, but we hope that you're pleased with your grades and that they (and/or subsequent appeals) allow you to join us in October! We are really looking forward to meeting you. If you now know for sure that you are joining us, we'd love to let you know about a couple of things that are being put on for you very soon! Firstly, freshaway. This is an event run by the Cambridge CU for freshers every year, which normally involves a weekend away with lots of other freshers and a few current CU members/college reps, some food, some new friends and some time to focus on God before you come up to Cambridge! This year it's going to look a little different, with a day of regional meetups at various locations around the UK followed by a couple of days of online freshaway. Head over to the Cambridge CU page (link here https://www.facebook.com/CambridgeCU/) if you want to find out more and sign up! Also on that page, you will find a link to sign ups for college CU group chats. If you'd like to be added to the Girton CU messenger group chat, please either head over to the Cambridge CU page or fill out this google form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScehJXOxOSyUO96eQPDNlOIFQw2wQmfYfCx1JBYxQJlwg4Aqw/viewform?usp=sf_link, and we will add you to that. Do also feel free to get in contact by emailing Emily Moore or Ben Pymer on [email protected] or [email protected] respectively. We hope you have a great rest of your summer, and we are excited to see you soon! Ben and Emily :-)

We're the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, also known as CICCU
