GCF Newsflash! Is the Bible trustworthy? | Fri. 4/25 @ 7:30pm | Mezz. Lounge

Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!

For this week's large group, we are addressing your most burning question of the semester: is the Bible infallible and trustworthy?  To help us wrestle with this topic and more, Dr. Gordon Hugenberger, senior minister at Park Street Church, will be here for a discussion and Q&A session.  He will be focusing on the historical accuracy of the Bible as a starting point.  Bring your questions for what will surely be a lively conversation!

Topic:         Is the Bible Trustworthy? Q&A with Gordon Hugenberger
Where:       Mezzanine Lounge (W20-307)

When:         Friday April 25th @ 7:30pm

Contact:     Large Group Team (mit-gcf-lg@mit.edu)

Prayer Square

• Praise for a great Easter weekend celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
• Praise that the Boston Marathon was secure and celebratory.
  
• Pray for those graduating at the end of this term and in the upcoming months, that they would have extra strength, wisdom, and perseverance to finish the race well.
• Pray for those with on-going and recently discovered health issues, whether family, friends, or yourselves.  Pray that they will tangibly receive an abundance of God's healing, mercy, and grace.
  

Community Corner

He is risen!  The GCF family celebrated together at our annual Easter Potluck this past Sunday.  The 24th floor of Tang was full of conversation and abundant food generously prepared by many hands.  Afterwards, some continued the party with Dance Central, with many a dance superstar emerging from the ranks :)

Special thanks to Adam H for coordinating and setting up the potluck!

A group of GCFers also cooked and served a delicious meal to our homeless neighbors at CASPAR last Saturday:

Thanks to Alice K and Heather B for coordinating this effort of love and service.
