How much does the church support people in their workplace? Is church just a Sunday thing, then we get on with business in the 9-5? Does God call people into 'normal' jobs? As a Christian, how should I conduct myself at work?  These are all excellent questions that need addressing. Whilst hundreds of thousands of students prepare to start university this autumn,...
