4. Miscellaneous

4.1. Internships at Gov

4.2. Cambridge University Christian Drama Society Play

"Saving Grace" is an original English Christian production, featuring Edith Nnotum as Grace and Ling Junjie as Jake.

When someone close to Grace and Jake dies, how are their worlds changed? Do they let tragedy make them stronger, or let it consume them until their worlds are changed entirely? When challenged with reality, what do we do?

Admission is free of charge, and non-Christians are especially welcomed to watch the play, to learn more about Christianity through a night of heart-stopping drama and discovery.
