Reading Week
Student Reading Week 2010
Reading Week is especially for students going into their second year. It takes place in September, just before the beginning of the University year and is a great way to start the year! Like our Mid year Conference, Reading Week is an opportunity to spend a week away from it all studying God's word together. The format however is different to MYC. Instead of upfront talks and seminars, we spend time studying a book of the Bible in small groups, we read and discuss a Christian book together and we listen to and discuss some stretching sermons. There is also plenty of time for relaxing, chatting, going for walks, eating great food and generally enjoying sharing in each others lives and getting to know each other better. It's a week not to miss.
Next year's Reading week will take place in September 2010. Watch this space for dates!
Reading week was a brilliant way to start my second year at university, putting everything into perspective before the busy-ness of Freshers’ week and getting my head stuck into God’s word. We were studying Titus and it was great to be reminded of the grace of the gospel shown to us that leads to godliness and the need to keep teaching this truth in the face of false teachers. We also read through the book Distinctives by Vaughan Roberts and had a chance to chat through in small groups how we could in practice live holy lives. This was really challenging, especially thinking about the eternal perspective we should have as Christians and being content. It was also a great time to hang out with friends, encourage one another, play cards, eat quiche and visit Ostrich world!! What more could you want in one jam packed week.
