Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!
Hope everyone had an great Columbus Weekend! This week's large group is on evangelism.
How can we share God's love with our friends? Where do we even start? It's so awkward!!! Come hear examples of GCFers reaching out. Learn some conversation starters. Pray together. Leave with a tangible way of showing His love!
Topic: Loving and Reaching Out to Our Friends
Where: Student Center, Mezzanine Lounge
When: Friday 10/17 @ 7:30 pm
Contact: Heather Beem (beem@mit.edu)
Announcements
Come pray for GCF, MIT, and more! Every Monday 8:30-9:30 am and Saturdays 10-11am in the Christian Fellowship Lounge (CFL), basement of W11. Contact: Amanda Swenson (swenson@mit.edu)
Apply for the Harvey Fellows Program! Stipends of $12,000 for Christian graduate students are available from the Mustard Seed Foundation. Applications are due Nov 1.
Know a friend who may need help? The phone number for the Grad Resources Crisis Line for classmates who may be at the edge: 1.800.GRAD.HLP (800.472.3457). This is a free service and does not assume the student calling in is a believer.
It's not too late to join a GCF small group! Check out this list for a small group near you.
Community Corner
GCFers attended the Boston-wide Grad Fall Retreat at Toah Nipi in New Hampshire and enjoyed time with God plus activities such as canoeing and kickball.
Prayer Square
- Pray for small groups that they would grow to be communities of encouragement and accountability.
- Pray for GCF that we can better serve and love the graduate student community at MIT.
- Pray for those suffering from mental health issues - pray that God's light would reach them.
Verse of the Week
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing, and perfect will.
-Romans 12:2
