Announcements
- The GCF Winter Retreat is coming up on February 12-14 in Toah Nipi! This is always a good chance to reflect, rest, and dedicate the upcoming semester to God. Unlike the fall retreat, we do all of the planning and organization for ourselves as a fellowship, so we need your help! E-mail Sam (same@mit.edu) ASAP if you're interested in joining a retreat-organizing committee.
- Looking for new friends with whom to study the Bible, navigate graduate school, or think more about what Christianity means for our lives? Check out a small group near you!
- Interested in joining a group of seekers reading Mere Christianity over a free dinner? Sunday nights, 7.30 pm - W11 Community room (W11-155). Contact: gig@mit.edu

Spiritual Encouragement
From C.H. Spurgeon -"The apostle tells us, 'Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!' (Phil. 4:4). Let us be thankful that the Lord lives, for 'He is [our] rock' (Ps. 92:15). 'Nor is there any rock like our God' (1 Sam. 2:2). He is ready to help those who serve Him. Believer, the fountain of your joy is never dried up. If, like Jonah, your plants are withered (Jonah 4:7), your God still lives. If, like Job, your goods have been plundered (Job 1:15), the highest good is still yours….You have a possession that is unfading, a promise that is unfailing, and a Protector who is unchanging. Though you live in a faithless world, you dwell in a faithful God."
