The students who begin university in the autumn of 2020 will have come through
extraordinary circumstances in order to get there. They deserve our help, prayers and support so they can start university with confidence in the midst of uncertainty. Student Linkup helps young people prepare for University and find a church they can call home.
We believe if a young person connects to a church before they go to university, it could make all the difference. It could help them thrive in their faith, make great friends, and find a home away from home.
- Talk to your school leavers to find out what their plans are for the next year. You could even include a little interview in your online gathering.
- Pray for them and commission them.
- Give them a gift - The Student Linkup box is the essential gift for any new student.
A commissioning prayer for the freshers of 2020
Father God,
Thank you for these young people who we are sending out from our church, and from churches across the UK.
Fill them with your boldness; help them to have confidence in you and in introducing others to you.
Help us as your church to support these young people as we pray and commission them now as part of our church family.
May these churches who are receiving them be welcoming and help them to serve your glory.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
