Church Weekend!
The St Mikes church weekend is coming up on the 16th-18th April. This is going to be a great chance for us to gather together before the new term begins and to have a weekend of focus and hanging out, and it would be great to have a good number of students there. Take a weekend off work, or even jsut one of the days, come and be, learn, experience and share. Check out the main St Mikes website for info (www.stmichaelsyork.org).

What a term?!
With everyone heading home for the holidays, its a great time to reflect back over this term… here are some of the awesome things that have been happening…
Loveyouruni tour – this was a great day of celebration, mission, learning and empassioning, we’ve had some great feedback off it, and we’re starting to see some of the fruit from the day come through. Yay
Alpha@G2 – we’ve had two Student Alpha courses going on amongst students at G2 this term – the Student cell and Miriam and Gav have put on courses for their friends, and we’ve seen over 30 people across the two courses. 
Awesome.
Baptisms – the baptism of Tom, Gav and Sian was an amazing occasion, and also a visible demonstration of what we’re seeing happen in different ways across the community – people are connecting with God, discovering more about what it means to walk with him, and wanting to commit to living alongside Him for always.
Relationships and growth – this has been a great term for seeing people connect with each other, relationships are growing in depth, we are starting to connect more across the community with other individuals, and there are more people joining the community all the time. It feels like we are more full of life and energy than ever, fueled by dipping deeper into prayer and seeing God do some great things amongst us.
Where are you at with this stuff…
Being a part of G2 extends beyond our Sunday meeting – its a community in which we want to encourage each other, support each other, and push into a fuller and more missional life together. If you’re not plugged in to this stuff below then get on it :) Get in touch if you’ve got any questions!
Who am I?
I (Pippa) am the student worker at G2 (see picture below). I’m on campus twice a week, grabbing
coffees and meeting with students from G2 and further afield. I’m usually around on Monday and
Tuesday afternoons in The Courtyard (Langwith, York Uni), so do come and say hi. It doesn’t matter if
you come every week, if you’ve never been to G2 before, or if you’re a Christian or not, if you wanna
meet up, get in touch!
pippa.winterburn@stmichaelsyork.org (or on Facebook!)
Why do we welcome students?
Students are great fun to work with. They are full of energy and enthusiasm. But they will also shape tomorrow’s society. They will make the world our children grow up in. So it is essential that we encourage them in their faith-journey whilst at university. Being at university is also challenging and being part of a lively church family is a breath of fresh air for many students.
If you’re interested in getting involved in G2 drop us an email at students@g2york.org, or grab Luke Smith or Pippa Winterburn on Sunday! Likewise if you have any questions have a word with us.
Looking forward to meeting you!
