[Committee] comm meeting plan 16 June

[Okoli, Zimuzo]

Meeting chairman: Zim
Time: 1 hr MAX

Things to discuss
Do a Bible bit and pray

Quick things:      -  Has anyone managed to look at any of the follow-up course material since last week?  We will need to make a decision either at Forum/Autumn term.  So continue to look into each and pray about it over summer.  I’ll keep reminding you.

-           Who is going to be around to help out with the CU stall at the college open day next week.

o   AP:  John to recruit a couple normal CU members to help with manning and setting up the stall?

o   AP:  Funmi to bring her laptop with CU slideshow.  Also do a paper sign-up list (relevant info: email, entry year).

o   AP:  Tom R to stock up goody bags (already in CU locker) with treats (may need shopping), FREE Gospel and slips with CU contact info.

o   AP:  Zim to print off copies of questionnaires.


·         CU Weekend Away

o   Hopefully we have a venue booked by now!?

o   Is our mission speaker able to make the CU weekend away?  If not, let’s get a different speaker? We’ll try to get our mission speaker at HUB.

§  Do we want to specify a book, or theme for the speaker or do we let him choose?

·         What are the issues that we want the speakers talks to speak into/achieve.  E.g. convincing us to do evangelism in the lead up to mission, convincing us to live distinctive lives at university, encouraging real unity amongst us.

o   Seminars

§  These are opportunities to address specific issues focused on evangelism in a more practical workshop kind of way.  We have traditionally put the seminars into two categories:

·         I am convinced about doing evangelism and I really want to crack on with it.

·         I am not so convinced about evangelism and I need encouraging and the basics.

§  Are these broad and good categories?

§  We have 4 seminar slots to fill – 2 in each category.  Let’s brainstorm possible ideas:

·         How to reach International students?

·         Playing sports and evangelism

·         What is the gospel

·         What if my friends simply aren’t interested

·         How do I share the gospel

§  Are you happy for Zim and John to take the ideas and make a decision on which seminars we’ll do?

§  AP:  John Raftery to find seminar speakers over the summer.

o   Food

§  Seb Wood and his fiancé Clare have said they are willing to be our cooks at the weekend away.

§  AP:  Funmi to get in touch with Seb and ask if he and Clare can cook for us at the weekend away.  Funmi to allocate them a budget for food.

o   Other stuff

§  Can Funmi be official administrator for the weekend away?

§  Stuff we haven’t talked about but will need deciding at some stage are:

·         Transport – how are we going to get there and back

·         Fees – how much do we charge CU members for it

·         Bookstall – Chris Oldfield normally brings one along

·         Program booklet – don’t design this yourself.  Delegate to someone on committee to design and print.

·         Mission Week slot – traditionally there is a seminar slot on Saturday, where the Evang Sec gets us excited about mission week and stuck in with doing some brainstorming.

·         Music – will there be any musical equipment at venue we are allowed to use? Josh F, will at some point need to sort music for the weekend away.  It’s also a good opportunity to get others in the CU to play music.

·         Afternoon and Evening activities.
