Welcome to the first issue of CU Connections.

We are here to try and communicate what is going on, so prayer and support can be offered.

This Newsletter will be produced each month to try and do just that.

GOOD NEWS

Edinburgh University CUs had a joint Mission in February (A Time to Live) that went really well and really brought the CUs together as well as enabling them to share the Gospel.

They made 10,000 CDs instead of fliers and handed them out around the campuses.
They had gospel based Jazz and D&B style songs writen and played by local students and entitled them FREE LOVE. Many non-chrsitians thought they were brilliant!
