Liverpool: Love and food draw crowds

They may not have sung it, but CU members certainly displayed the love of Jesus at Liverpool CUs’ events week, titled “Here is love”.

In that absolutely jam-packed, gospel-filled week, there were 13 talks across two campuses, plenty of free food and opportunities for students to chat to CU members and ask questions. There was something for everyone who stepped through the doors of the Stanley Theatre (University of Liverpool) or Chaplaincy (lunchtimes; Liverpool Hope University).

I had the privilege of joining the Christian Unions in Liverpool from the second day of their events week to its conclusion, and throughout the week, I was so encouraged by the interactions I saw, the conversations I heard or took part in, and the general hospitality and love shown by the CU members. I was especially delighted that many students seemed to take steps towards faith in Jesus.
