Is there a greater time of change than when we’re about to leave school? There are often thousands of questions buzzing around our heads! Like, who am I?  Am I the person my teachers or friends want me to be?  What college or university will I go to next?  What course will I study?  Will I go for a job or an apprenticeship?  What will I do next year?  Where will my friends be?  Where will we go when we’re all far apart?  Where does my faith fit into all of these questions?  We’d love you to join us as the team from The Hub, a chaplaincy serving students in Belfast, helps us to think about what God has to say to us in the midst of all these kinds of questions.
