Chaplaincy News - Sept 22

Welcome to Medway!!

As Chaplain I work across all three universities at the Medway Campus.  My role can be divided in to three main areas:  Welcome and Community, Pastoral Care and Well-Being, and Faith Provision.

You will find our multi-faith Faith Space in Pilkington building (PK039). Please use this space quietly and respectfully.

I run a variety of regular events and also occasional trips or social gatherings. My office door is often open and I enjoy meeting new people, so why not pop by to say hello sometime😊

For more information or to sign up for either of the above

Welcome events please contact the Medway Campus Chaplain.

DON’T MISS OUT ON A

BARGAIN OR TWO!!!

Our Bargain Corner is a hugely successful sustainability project which seeks to serve all students and staff at Medway.

Good-quality items have been donated by former students, staff, friends & family. We sell them at a ridiculously cheap price.

The benefits are three-fold:

1.     Preventing items from going to landfill.

2.     Saving students LOTS of money.

3.     All money raised goes back to subsidising other student          activities.

Visit Chaplaincy in Pilkington building between

Sept 12th - 29th for our new academic year sales.

beyond those dates simple contact or visit the 

Chaplain for any needs.

TABLEtalk has been running since 2004. In that time, students from almost 70 different nationalities have benefitted from the opportunity to:

👍 Improve their English language skills.

👍 Engage in fun, interactive discussions.

👍Gain increased understanding of cross-cultural communication and dynamics.

👍 Make some deep friendships, that will stand the test of time and distance.

“I enjoyed all the activities/gatherings/events that I witnessed with the Chaplain. TABLEtalk was a key target and a weekly countdown for me as it took my head off any stresses whether academic or personal. I learned new things, had fun, practice  my English, gained more confidence in speaking with people and getting to know them. It has countless advantages. Thanks, for everything.”
