Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!
Ever wonder how your field reflects God? InterVarsity's Emerging Scholars Network has just launched Scholar's Compass, an online devotional addressing that very question. Featuring a different grad student or professor each week, Scholar's Compass explores how God is present in subjects from physics to archaeology. Hannah Eagleson, editor of the devotional, will lead small and large group discussion of how your own field encourages your faith. Materials include a devotional by physics professor W. Brian Lane and GCF's own J. Nathan Matias.
Topic: Scholar's Compass Workshop: Finding God in Your Field
Where: Student Center, Mezzanine Lounge (W20-307)
When: Friday 9/26 @ 7:30 pm
Contact: Hannah Eagleson

Verse of the Week
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25
