Lay preaching

STUDENT LINK-UP SCHEME

Calling new students!

Are you starting at University this autumn? Are you looking forward to it – or a bit apprehensive? Would you like at least one person to know you are coming?

Below is a list of chaplains serving in Higher Education Institutions. Some are URC ministers or members, others are from other denominations but all are happy to be contacted.

You are invited to make contact directly by email with the chaplain where you are going. We would appreciate it if you could send a copy of your email (or a separate one) to ministries@urc.org.uk so that we can get some idea of whether this method of contact is helpful and how much it is being used.

We hope that you will enjoy your time at University and the change from school/college/work, and that you will also feel able to approach the chaplains at any time.
