Welcome to the MIT Graduate Christian Fellowship!
Come join us at our Thanksgiving Potluck this Thursday! Please invite your friends and labmates. It will be a great time with eating, games, and enjoying each others' company. Please RSVP here (but feel free to come even if you haven't RSVPed).
What: Thanksgiving potluck and games
Where: Sidney Pacific Owu Rom
When: Thursday, November 23, 1 pm
Contact: Steering Committee (mit-gcf-steer@mit.edu)
Announcements
- Weekly prayer: come pray with us! Prayer requests also welcomed. Note: time is changed from Monday to Wednesday 11 am!
- Wednesdays 11-12, Basement of W11 (W11-080).
- Contact: Grace (graceg@mit.edu)
- Please email Grace if you want to attend the informal prayer meetings but your schedule does not allow you to meet regularly.
- A GCF Thanksgiving week tradition: the Grand Tour of Boston is Saturday. Far more than the Freedom Trail, learn about the history, art, architecture, and beauty of the birthplace of American independence… we will explore America's most interesting neighborhood (Beacon Hill), walk a piece of the Underground Railroad, and tread in the steps of the Sons of Liberty. We will leave at 9:45 am from in front of the inbound T in Kendall Sq, or you can meet us at 10 am at Park Street on the terrace between the T and Park Street Church. Return will be about 5 pm if you go the whole way. You will need comfortable walking shoes, money for lunch and snacks (pastry in the North End, etc.) and for 4 T fares if you do not have a pass. We will return partly by boat, which will be a little cooler and windier, so I recommend layering. With a week to go, the current weather forecast is for the mid-forties Fahrenheit. VERY IMPORTANT: our goal is to make it to Old Ironsides in time to go on board. As it is considered a national treasure, you must go through the equivalent of airport security to get on it. That means official ID is needed—a U.S. driver's license, or a passport for internationals. PLEASE RSVP on the Google doc so we don't leave without you!
- Veritas Forum Planners Needed: Veritas Forum is an event hosted on different campuses with the intention of asking life's hardest questions. The MIT event is a joint action of the different campus Christian groups. Planners are needed to help make this event a success. The event will likely take place in the mid spring, and the weekly time commitment is approximately 2 hours. Numerous perks will include (i) something you can put on your CV, (ii) interaction with MIT's Christian faculty, (iii) the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you have participated in something bigger than yourself. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Carla Grobler (carlau@mit.edu).
Prayer Square
- Pray that we have thankful hearts in all circumstances.
- Pray for reconciliation, peace and understanding in our society.
- Pray that our desires may be aligned with God's desire for the world.
Spiritual Encouragement
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
-- Colossians 3:15-17
