It's that time of year again- uni is looming on the not-so-distant horizon, you're starting to think of things like sign-on and text books are becoming a reality. Do you remember doing it all for the very first time? Didn't it seem daunting? Wouldn't you have loved to know that there were going to be other friendly Christians on campus that could help things seem less scary?

If you know of any christians starting at UQ or QUT this year- why not invite them along to a social just for first years?!? They'll have some fun, meet some other people in the same boat as them- maybe even some in their classes! but most importantly, they'll find out about ES and qut-christians, who we are and what we do.

So why don't you print the flyer attached? It's got all the information you'll need. But don't keep it for yourself- GIVE IT OUT! Pass it on to ANYONE you know who'll be starting uni this year whether of not they're your sibling, cousin, neighbour, team mate, work colleague or church buddy- let all the christan's you know coming to uni know about it!!!

Also invite them along to Summer Stuff on Tuesday Nights- it's been a great time by all accounts, and it's not too late to turn up!

please note this is not going to be an ES-wide social- if you are not bringing along a first year- THIS NIGHT IS NOT FOR YOU!

  • Why: Because even over Summer we should be reflecting and meeting up over God's word.
  • Who: YOU!!! even if you've never been involved in ES before, we'd love for you to join us! Also a GREAT opportunity to bring along people from your church and other's that you know who are coming to UQ next year to- help them meet some other Christians before they start!

Summer Stuff Training- Thursday Nights

  • When: January 17th; 24th;31st and February 7th from 7-9pm Where: St Andrew's Anglican Church, South Brisbane- we'll be in the club room, not the hall this night
  • What: We'll be looking a Protestantism and Islam in preparation for our Semester One Mission.

START-UP CAMP!

  • Why: Because it is going to be absolutely FANTASTIC and something you DO NOT want to miss out on!!!
