Worship - Plain & Simple | Aug 16 @ 8pm | CFL (W11)

Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!

"Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness." _Psalm 29:1-2

Let us have a time of worship this Friday, where God will be our sole focus. From our hearts, may we generate a sound pleasing to God. If you like to sing, play, listen, dance or pray, we invite to come join us in the CFL! Bring your instruments and feel free to request or lead a song or two (or else you make Keith lead the entire time! noooo). We'll put lyrics and chords up on a projector. No practice, just raw and free-spirited worship.

Where:           Christian Fellowship Lounge (CFL) - Bldg. W11 Basement

Recap Lane

A bike ride through historic Lexington and Bedford was washed out due to rain. Instead, we did what GCF loves to do...eat!

Prayer Square

• Our Brother Yong is currently in The Congo on an ambitious mission trip. Praise God for allowing him to enter the country despite complications with his visa. Pray for Yong's safety and health as they travel around The Congo. Pray for God to guide Yong to be a transformative force in Africa. 
• Pray for GCF to make great impressions when welcoming new students at the GCF dessert socials. Pray that we are able to book space in every dorm to put on the dessert socials.

Overheard @ GCF

Person 1: So there is this 4 liter bucket and a 2 liter bucket. With unlimited water, how do you measure out 3 liters? 

Two unnamed GCF'ers proceed to think deeply, pouring buckets of water into each other in their minds for a half-hour.

Person 1: Oh, shoot, maybe the riddle was with a 5 liter bucket and 3 liter bucket to make 4 liters.

grrrr!

Community Corner

Some GCF'ers work on their prayer lives by going on terrifying rides at Six Flags!
"Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!"
