finding friendships and faith in a changing world
The Bread+Belonging Tuesday night meal is open to all university students. Our students come from all kinds of denominations and backgrounds, and some have no faith experience.
We know this: coming together in a community to enjoy each other is a grounding and life-giving part of any college experience. We hope you’ll join us.
Our weekly Bread+Belonging gathering is our main event, including dinner, dessert, and fellowship on Tuesday evenings. Sometimes, we just share dinner. Other days, we might host conversations on advocacy, faith, anti-racism, and current events.
Students are always invited to be involved in St. Aidan’s parish in worship or at any event. Students who gravitate toward Lutheran worship have a number of local congregations to choose from, too! Regardless of your faith, all students hungry for a meal and for a place to be known and loved are welcome.
About B+B History
Bread+Belonging is a partnership of the Lutheran Campus Ministry and St. Aidan's Episcopal Church. The goal of the partnership is to provide Word, Sacrament, and Christian hospitality to the tens of thousands of students, faculty, staff, and others attending the University of Colorado Boulder.
St. Aidan’s parish was founded as a student ministry in 1948 to serve and seek God on the CU campus. It has evolved from that original idea and has been a central part of our life. In 2008, we partnered with Lutheran Campus Ministry to create a weekly dinner on Tuesday nights for all students. Bread+Belonging was the original name given to this gathering, and now it is commonly used to refer to our combined campus ministry.
