GCF Newsflash! Winter Retreat/No Large Group

Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!

 

Hi friends! The GCF Winter Retreat is this weekend 2/14-2/16 (woohoo!), so large group is cancelled this Friday. Hope everyone enjoys the 3-day weekend!

Announcements

• The MIT Veritas Forum is still looking for volunteers! Areas to help include: Content, Logistics, Marketing, and Outreach. Contact Sam E. for more info.
  
• Mark Manuscript studies have started!  If you are interested in the Mark I or Mark II streams, you can still catch up (before next Monday). Contact Kevin for more info.
  

Prayer Square

• As this Friday is Valentine's Day, pray for those who are not in relationships to be showered with God's love, and those who are in relationships would draw God closer in to them.
• In light of recent campus events, pray that the Christian community will be a support for those who have been sexually assaulted and play an active part in "breaking the silence".
  
• Pray for the start of the semester, that this would be a new beginning for those who have been exhausted, frustrated, hurting, or in need of inspiration.
  
• Pray that our campus would open up to God's word and influence, in preparation for the Veritas Forum and other outreach activities.  Pray that His love would be tangibly felt in ever corner.

Community Corner

Last Friday, MIT alumni Phil and Heidi Litle, who moved to Israel 25 years ago for school and missions work, shared about their ministry and how to endure in faith.

Several GCFers attended the "Speaking About Jesus" event last Saturday, and learned a neat way to quickly explain the gospel. Check it out: The Big Story Pt 1 and The Big Story Pt 2 .  From Kevin Ford: After the evangelism training, on the faculty member present had 2 chances to share the Gospel with the 4 worlds--one person committed to following Jesus!  Those of you who went, practice and teach your friends in GCF the drawing!

Verse of the Week

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
