Many thanks to all those who took part in our Easter Egg Challenge.

Together we raised £120 for Medway Foodbank ... a very worthy local charity helping to provide emergency food for those in financial distress.

A PRAYER OR UKRAINE

God of the nations, whose sovereign rule 

brings justice and peace,

have mercy on our broken and divided world.

Shed abroad your peace in the hearts of all

and banish from them the spirit

that makes for war,

that all races and peoples may learn to live

as members of one family and

in obedience to your law through your Son,

Jesus Christ our Lord.

 AMEN

Anglican Diocese of Perth

TAKE TEN with LYNNE

 Stress is an inevitable part of life. Some stress can positively

motivate us. However, when a stressful situation is on-going,

or we’re experiencing multiple layers of stress, we need to

learn what to do and where we can go for help.

Stress Awareness Month

To ALL Medway Campus Staff

The Medway Chaplain invites you to step away from the demands of your role and the confines of your office; and join together with others for a well-deserved Coffee & Cake break (or Tea & Treats if you prefer).

Do put these dates in your diary and plan on joining us at least ONCE.

Welcome Bishop Jonathan

It was a great pleasure today to welcome Bishop Jonathan, the new Bishop of Rochester, to our campus.  He joins us from his current role as Bishop of Huddersfield.

For those who are unaware, the role of Medway Campus Chaplain (that's me) is a joint role funded by Christ Church Canterbury University, the University of Kent, the University of Greenwich and the Anglican Diocese of Rochester.

Many thanks to Atharva, Aiste & Annikki
for their part in Bishop Jonathan's visit.

As part of the media announced today it stated:  

"At the Medway Campus, lay chaplain Lynne Martin, accompanied by some of the students, will take Bishop Jonathan on a tour of the site which is home to three universities: Canterbury Christ Church University, Greenwich University, and Kent University. He will hear about the difference the chaplaincy makes to the students’ lives and learn about some of the issues they face as young people."
