Friends International Summer Welcome: Hundreds of international students arrive in Exeter this summer. Many feel homesick and eager to make local friends; many from countries where there’s no chance to hear the Gospel and they may be curious about Christianity. Let us welcome them and make friendships sensitively and prayerfully. Welcome Party on campus on Mon, July 8. We’d love cakes to share, and people to come along. Can you help? After that we meet Mon evenings at a pub/cafe in Jul & Aug and welcome any who can help regularly or one-off. To find out more, please contact Jenny Hudson,
