The Bible Talks at Adelaide Uni |
|
If you can't make it to The Bible Talks at City East, we encourage you to get along to The Bible Talks at Adelaide Uni, which is for students from all the North Terrace campuses.
These talks happen every semester week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 1–2 pm in the Union Cinema (Level 5, Union Building, University of Adelaide North Terrace campus). Both days have the same talk so you can attend whichever meeting fits your timetable.
Do you want to come, but aren't too sure how to find your way around the Adelaide Uni campus? Contact the ES City East President and we will do our best to have someone go with you to the talk. Alternatively, check out this map of Adelaide Uni to find the location of Union House.
