Yesterday we were joined by Laura from Hallam caring services to explain our latest partnership between them & the chaplaincy. We are pleased to announce that we are now offering all students the opportunity for counselling, you will be entitled to four free sessions with the team & they can help you with anything from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, exam stress, loneliness, sleep problems, anything. Whatever is troubling you! We are just in the first stages but if you’d like to receive counselling or just talk to someone in a safe environment the details are below. We couldn’t recommend counselling enough, there is no shame in seeking help and prioritising your mental health ☺️ if you’re worried about making the first steps, el and fr lee are happy to help, alternatively the details are- Bernie Ware, ebware@hallam-diocese.com, 01142566408

“Prayer is the only entryway into genuine self-knowledge. It is also the main way we experience deep change—the reordering of our loves. Prayer is how God gives us so many of the unimaginable things he has for us. Indeed, prayer makes it safe for God to give us many of the things we most desire. It is the way we know God, the way we finally treat God as God. Prayer is simply the key to everything we need to do and be in life.” - Tim Keller This term were focussing on prayer & scripture. We want to see students praying more and reading there bibles. starting on Thursday 7th feb, every Thursday we will be running continuous adoration between 9-12. We are calling each student to sign up for a half hour slot and spend some time with Jesus. During this time they’ll be plenty around to help you pray and El will be on hand if you’d like her to pray with you. The rota is in the chaplaincy & we’d love for you to sign up and get Sheffield adoring Jesus! ☺️
Starting tomorrow we’re back with a new programme. Join us every Tuesday as we have our community evenings. We’ll kick off with a Holy Hour at 5:00, followed by Mass, followed by a home cooked meal & a video & then the pub! This term we’re going to be unpacking the bible and learning more about scripture. So if you’ve ever thought ‘I’d love to read the bible but I wouldn’t know where to begin’ this is FOR YOU! Tomorrow we’ll just be simply introducing it with the aim to start next Tuesday so don’t worry if you’re still doing exams! Just another note to say, this term we won’t be running Thursday praise and worship. We want to really commit to Tuesdays, but don’t worry there’s still loads to get involved with. From girls bible studies, boys football, mission week, adoration & prayer opportunities and much more! Look out for more details....
Ooooooooo #hype 👀👀👀👀
#throwback to Monday with these beautiful girls, having amazing chats in our bible study in our new favourite cafe @wildwoodgiftscoffee 🔥 This term we’re studying Philippians and we loved chapter one. We spoke about how If God brings us to something, he’ll bring us through something & we can be assured of his faithfulness. We were struck by St Paul’s prayer to the church and how he rejoiced in them and asked ourselves ‘what would our Christian friends be thanking God for or rejoicing in, in our lives’. We spoke about priorities and how we can honour God in every part of our day and spoke about suffering & how we can stand firm this semester in times of trial. We’ll be meeting again next Monday so come along if you’re free 🌸 ‘In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’ - Philippians 1: 5-7
Exam season is nearly over which means our programme is restarting! Although House group doesn’t officially start until next week, we’ll be having a social tomorrow to welcome everyone back, catch up and bring some fun to gloomy January 🎉💫
