Hi all,
Hope you're all well. Here are two things I thought you ought to know about.

1) Lancaster SCM is having its first Lent term meeting next Wednesday at 7pm, where we will be planning the rest of the term and possibly playing a few games. Everyone is welcome.

2) The national Student Christian Movement is holding its first Theology Thursday event tonight. Bungie Bunting, a URC minister and pacifist, will be talking to us about his experience as a minister in Faslane, where Britain's nuclear submarines are based.

For information on how to attend either of these, please message this page.

Tomorrow we're looking at SCM's campaign on food poverty. Message the page for details to join the meeting online.
