This Sunday (16th Feb) marks a day of prayer across the world! The Universal Day of Prayer for Students (UDPS) is co-ordinated by the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF), and has been celebrated since 1898, making it one of the oldest ecumenical days of prayer. It serves as a tangible sign of our common life, connecting student movements across the world. Join us and many others across the earth as we pray together for students… The Student Christian Movement (SCM), who have been active members of the FCG Higher Education Working Group, says… “We invite all our members and friends to unite in prayer for the world, the church, students, and WSCF itself on 16th February 2020.” SCM has produced a resource toolkit for 2020 that can be used by churches, student groups and individuals. You can download a copy of the 2020 Student Sunday resources here. The theme this year is Known By Name.
You can find out more about the resources the FCG has developed to support you, your church and students who are moving away and coming into your community. If you and your church are supporting young people who are going off to university, then you might find these leaflets we have published useful.
Branching Out - supporting young people who are going to university
Keeping in Touch - supporting young people who are at university
Making a Difference - supporting university students in your community
Home from Home - supporting university students in your church
