Last year 16,000 non-Christian students heard the gospel by attending a carol service hosted by their university’s Christian Union.
As you read this story, several CUs will have held their 2014 services, with many more to follow in the final weeks of term. Thousands of students who have never had the gospel explained to them will hear an evangelistic message through a carol service.
Come and celebrate
‘There is no doubt in my mind that Christmas is the easiest ask of the year’, said Rico Tice, associate minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place. ‘While on sabbatical, I met a couple whose marriage I’m going to take. She is a Buddhist and the only time she’d been to church previously was to carol services. A wonderful question to ask anyone is, “Do you celebrate Christmas?” And it’s just Christian hospitality to then say, “Would you then come and celebrate with me?’’’.
