You are invited to join with students, alumni, staff and supporters as we celebrate all that God has done in and through the UCCF Music Network over the past ten years!
Taking place in the building of St Ebbe's Church, Oxford (a church family that has generously supported network coordinator Tom Chevis throughout the past ten years) on Saturday 15 June 2024, the event will be a greatly enjoyable time of celebration, reunions, music, food, and God's Word.
You are invited!
What the day will consist of
Starting at 12.30 with a picnic lunch provided, the day will proceed with a full programme of interviews and musical performances, featuring a variety of students and staff, past and present. There will also be a talk from God’s Word given by Rev Simon Pedley, a church minister in London and former member of the National Youth Brass Band; Simon spoke at the very first Music Network Word Alive training track, back in April 2015, so it seemed fitting to have him speak at this event. The celebration vibes will continue with cake (home-made!) and prosecco, and the whole thing should be wrapped up by about 5pm, allowing folks time either to go out for dinner with old friends, and/or to return home.

Why you should come
All who have ever been involved with, or indeed are even simply interested in, the UCCF Music Network are invited. The event should prove a great opportunity for:
- former students to have a kind of network and/or CU reunion, to catch up with old friends
- current students to get a glimpse of the wider picture of this network of which they are a part
- supporters to experience a little of the ministry which their prayers and finances have fuelled
- interested others to learn for the first time what the Music Network is all about, and how they might get involved
So, all are invited, and spouses/partners and children are all welcome too, and the event is free! We don't want there to be any reason why you cannot come if you would like to.
All in all, it promises to be a fantastic day - so be there!
One small request: please could everyone invited complete the RSVP form (see below), even if you are unable to make it. This would be super helpful to the organisers and will allow us to gauge numbers for seating and catering etc.
