Prayer
Prayer is fundamental to the work of the CU, and provide opportunities for corporate prayer such as the weekly prayer breakfasts, and prayer week. If you wish to be involved in developing prayer in the CU, contact Cid at cidramon@gmail.com.
Events Team
The events team is a committed group of people within the CU which endeavour to organise large scale events to reach campus with our wonderful gospel message. We try and organise events that are:
- 1)Relational: Meeting people where they are
- 2)Invitational: Easy events to invite our friends to
- 3)Conversational: Able to create atmospheres where the gospel may be shared and relationships built.
- 4)Proclamational: Clearly proclaiming God's wonderful gospel message.
We meet regularly to discuss how to run different events and how we can best equip the CU to meet different groups of people on our campus that in our ordinary everyday evangelism we may not be able to reach.
Next term we aim to run a number of apologetic style lunchbars tackling the issues of truth, science and suffering; live music evenings; grill-a-christian evenings; salsa and African dance workshops; regular question café's and a course for people to investigate the person of Jesus, what he did and who he was/is.
If you would like to be involved in this team, please contact Josh at Milkybar_kid87@hotmail.com.
International
The international team is involved in planning and running the Small World Cafe. If you would like to be involved in this team, please contact Elisabeth at lilibet_ofthevalley@hotmail.co.uk.
Publicity
Although design is a key part of our advertising, it's not all about being an artist! There are plenty of ways you can be involved in the publicity team including: website management, photography, filming and editing, publicity management, and journalism opportunities! If you would like to know more, please contact Abi at llu07akm@reading.ac.uk.
Music
Do you love singing or playing an instrument? Whether you are an experienced musician or not, we would love to hear from you - contact our music co-ordinator Josh at lhu07jj@reading.ac.uk.
Technical Assistants
The techies are some of our most valued behind-the-scenes members in the CU! Each main meeting and event we have a whole host of technical equipment to set up and operate, so if you feel this is something you can be a part of, please contact Peter at siu07ph@reading.ac.uk.
Transport
We often need car owners to help transport music equipment to and from the main meetings as well as occasionally moving people around. If you have a car at Uni and feel you can offer your services to the CU in this way, please contact Josh at milkybar_kid87@hotmail.com.
