Over 20,000 at CU carols

Over 20,000 students have attended a CU carol service in 2013, with many Christian Unions reporting students wanting to join follow-up courses, meet one-to-one to read a gospel with a member of the CU, and some even professing faith.

One student commented: ‘the response has just been incredible. We know of so many people who have responded to the gospel’. The Durham Inter-Collegiate Christian Union reported: ‘so far we have 202 people who said they are not a part of church or CU, who prayed the response prayer at Durham Cathedral’. Similarly, Newcastle CU reported: ‘135 people who ticked the box to say they are not a part of church or the CU, prayed the response prayer at Newcastle CU carols’.
