It’s CU handover time!

Going into this new term college CU groupings have been rejigged slightly meaning Merton is now with Univ and Corpus and Oriel is with Christ Church and Pembroke!

We have loved being together this past year and are sorry to have to say goodbye, but we are also so excited for this new chapter!

Do get in touch if you’d like to be added to the new group chats run by the new reps: Annabel (Merton) and Zach (Oriel)

Happy second week!

Exciting features of this week include a walk this afternoon to St Mary’s Iffley that has been organised for Merton and Oriel colleges by the CU and Catholic Chaplaincy.
We’ll meet at Merton Plodge at 2pm, briefly visit the college chapels, then walk along the Thames to St Mary’s, with the option of walking or getting the bus back.

We'll also be joined by a special guest this Saturday at our dinner and bible study so come along to find out who they are...

Just sharing the Hilary Term card for Merton-Oriel Christian Union and inviting you to join us at any of our events that sound interesting to you 😊

As well as our weekly Saturday evening meetings there is also a uni-wide Events Week in 4th Week on the theme of ‘Living’ – with talks and discussions exploring what it means to live with the One who gives life – so do look out for more details coming soon!

And if you ever have any questions about CU, faith, or the big questions of life - please don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’re living with the One who has answers ✝️
